Today, we’re diving into the world of comforting, creamy, and oh-so-delicious ham and noodle casseroles, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!
Imagine a dish that’s packed with egg noodles, chopped ham, a tasty mix of vegetables, and a rich and creamy sauce, all layered with two kinds of cheese and topped with crushed croutons. Sounds like a dream come true, right?
This mouthwatering casserole is made two at a time in two 8-inch square baking dishes, serving eight people (or more, if you’re serving it with other dishes as part of a buffet). The secret ingredient in the sauce is the chive-and-onion flavored cream cheese, which adds a ton of flavor with little effort.
So, how do you make this heavenly dish? First, cook your egg noodles according to package directions and drain. Then, stir together cream of mushroom soup, chive-and-onion flavored cream cheese, and milk in a large bowl.
Next, stir in your cooked noodles, chopped ham, broccoli florets, asparagus, and carrots. Spoon half of the ham mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
Combine your shredded mozzarella and Cheddar cheese, and sprinkle half of the cheese mixture over the casserole. Spoon the remaining ham mixture over the cheese, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture over the top.
Finally, combine the remaining cheese mixture with crushed seasoned croutons and sprinkle over the casserole. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
This casserole is a filling dinner all on its own, complete with pasta, veggies, and protein for a filling one-dish meal. Pair it with a side of garlic bread or a light salad for a fresh touch.
And the best part? You can prepare this casserole as directed or make one and freeze one to eat later. Simply thaw the frozen casserole in the refrigerator overnight, then bake at 400°F for 35 to 40 minutes.
So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to indulge in this epic casserole extravaganza and make your taste buds dance with joy!
