Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups diced cooked ham
- 1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground mustard (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 4
Stir in the diced ham and frozen peas, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and ground mustard (if using), stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Fold the cooked egg noodles into the sauce, tossing gently to coat them evenly. Reduce the heat to low and let the casserole warm through for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Serve hot, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of additional cheese or chopped fresh parsley.
