Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups diced cooked ham
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
Step 2
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the milk and chicken broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 5
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, diced ham, frozen peas, and cheese sauce. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy ham casserole!
