Ingredients
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and green beans work great!)
- 2 cups cubed cooked chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken is ideal)
- 2 cups medium egg noodles, cooked and drained
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2:
In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, black pepper, frozen mixed vegetables, cooked chicken, cooked egg noodles, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to evenly coat all ingredients.
Step 3:
Transfer the mixture to a greased 1 ½-quart casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 4:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly. Remove from the oven and stir gently to ensure even cooking.
Step 5:
Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Step 6:
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with a fresh side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Recipe Tips for Success
- Golden Onion Twist: Skip the shredded cheese and instead top with ½ cup crushed French-fried onions before baking.
- Pasta Variations: Substitute egg noodles with cooked corkscrew pasta or penne for a fun texture twist.
- Make It Your Own: Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a touch of garlic powder for added flavor.
