  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 3-quart casserole dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

  5. Assemble Casserole: Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot throughout and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this warm, creamy chicken noodle casserole as a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Time Saving Tips: Use a rotisserie chicken to save time. Simply shred the meat, ensuring no bones remain.
