Kitchen Tools
This casserole recipe requires just a few essential tools to keep cooking simple and stress-free.
- Large mixing bowl
- 9×13 inch baking dish
- Spoon for mixing
- Measuring cups
- Oven mitts
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly. The warmth of the oven will ensure a beautiful browning on top of the casserole.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, cooked egg noodles, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. The vibrant colors of the vegetables will peep through the creamy mixture, creating a visual treat before baking.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. The cheese will melt and create a rich, gooey layer that binds the casserole beautifully.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This allows the casserole to heat through, merging the flavors wonderfully.
- After 20 minutes, carefully remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. The aroma of the cheese will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist.
- Allow the casserole to sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This will help it set, making it easier to portion. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, adding a touch of color and freshness.
Pro Tips
- For added flavor, sauté some onions and garlic before adding them to the mix.
- Feel free to substitute the mixed vegetables with any of your favorites, like broccoli or bell peppers.
- If you prefer a crunch, top the casserole with crushed crackers or breadcrumbs before baking.
- This dish freezes well, so consider making a double batch to enjoy later.
- Simple adjustments to spices can create your desired flavor profile; try adding Italian seasoning or cayenne for heat.
