Method
-
Preheat oven to a hot 190 degrees.
-
At the same time bring a large pot of boiling water (salted) to the boil and cook your egg noodles as per their specific instructions. You want them to end up al dente as they will cook more in the oven. Drain noodles and set aside.
-
In a bowl bring together the two condensed soups and the sour cream, mixing well.
-
In the same bowl throw in the cooked chicken (we used roast chicken leftovers), the frozen veggies, the cheddar and the egg noodles. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
-
Pour the entire thing into a large rectangular casserole dish, making sure to tap and shake the container to get rid of the air bubbles.
-
To make the crunchy topping mix the melted butter, parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs together in a bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
-
Pop the dish in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are properly cooked and the sauce has bubbled.
-
Let cool for a few minutes on the counter before serving, and feel free to add more cheese on the top.
