Tips & Variations

For a twist, try using cream of celery or cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom.
Adding a cup of frozen peas or chopped bell peppers can provide extra color and nutrients.
Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced flavor or mix in some mozzarella for extra meltiness.
Make sure to drain the cooked egg noodles thoroughly to avoid a soggy casserole.
