Oven-Baked Amish Cheddar Broccoli Noodle Casserole
This Oven-Baked Amish Cheddar Broccoli Noodle Casserole is a comforting, creamy dish that brings together tender egg noodles, savory chicken, and rich cheddar broccoli soup. Topped with melted cheddar cheese, this easy oven-baked meal delivers plenty of flavor with minimal preparation. Since the noodles cook directly in the creamy sauce, there is no need to boil them separately, making this casserole a convenient choice for busy weeknights or family dinners.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces uncooked wide egg noodles
- 2 cans cheddar broccoli soup (10.5 ounces each)
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish to prevent the casserole from sticking.
Step 2: Add the Noodles
Spread the uncooked egg noodles evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Mixture
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the cheddar broccoli soup and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Gently stir in the diced cooked chicken.
Step 4: Assemble the Casserole
Pour the soup and chicken mixture evenly over the noodles, making sure the noodles are mostly covered with liquid. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Step 5: Bake Until Tender
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10–15 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
Step 6: Let It Rest
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. This gives the sauce time to thicken and helps the casserole hold together when portioned.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Spoon the warm casserole onto plates and enjoy the creamy noodles, tender chicken, and melted cheddar topping. Serve on its own or alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a satisfying meal.
