• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in minced garlic, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the cooked noodles and sautéed vegetables to the mixing bowl. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Noodle Casserole!
