Ingredients

• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Push the onion and garlic to the side of the skillet and melt the butter in the center. Whisk in the flour to form a paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring the mixture stays smooth. Once combined, pour in the heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Add the cooked ground pork, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes to combine.

Step 8

In a large bowl, mix the cooked egg noodles with the pork and sauce mixture. Spread evenly into the prepared casserole dish.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 11

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pork Noodle Casserole!
