Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a little oil.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the noodle mixture.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the bread crumbs until well combined. Sprinkle the buttered crumbs over the cheese layer.
