Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (from rotisserie chicken)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, onion powder, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, drained noodles, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese into the soup mixture. Mix gently to coat everything evenly.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the crushed crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top. Bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute cream of celery soup for the cream of mushroom soup if you prefer.
- For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole completely, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the initial baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
- Use leftover cooked chicken or quickly cook chicken breasts to shred if you do not have rotisserie chicken.
