Creamy, cheesy, comforting, and incredibly easy! This Baked Cheddar Broccoli Noodle Casserole is a perfect weeknight dinner when you want something warm and satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
The best part? There\u2019s no need to boil the noodles first!<\/strong> The uncooked egg noodles bake directly in the creamy cheddar broccoli sauce, soaking up all that delicious cheesy flavor as they become tender.<\/p>\n Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Lightly grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish<\/strong> with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.<\/p>\n Spread the uncooked wide egg noodles<\/strong> evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.<\/p>\n There is no need to cook the noodles beforehand.<\/p>\n In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cheddar broccoli soup and milk<\/strong> until smooth and well combined.<\/p>\n The mixture will look fairly thin at this point. That is exactly what you want because the noodles will absorb the liquid as they bake.<\/p>\n Stir 1\u00bd cups of shredded cheddar cheese<\/strong> into the soup mixture.<\/p>\n Reserve the remaining \u00bd cup cheddar cheese<\/strong> for the topping.<\/p>\n Slowly pour the creamy cheddar mixture evenly over the uncooked noodles.<\/p>\n Make sure as many noodles as possible are covered with the sauce. If you see dry noodles sticking out, gently press them down with the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.<\/p>\n Bake at 350\u00b0F for 40\u201345 minutes<\/strong>, or until the noodles are tender.<\/p>\n If the noodles are still slightly firm, cover the dish again and bake for another 5\u201310 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Carefully remove the foil, watching out for hot steam.<\/p>\n Sprinkle the remaining \u00bd cup shredded cheddar cheese<\/strong> evenly over the top.<\/p>\n Return the casserole to the oven uncovered<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Bake for another 8\u201310 minutes<\/strong>, or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and lightly golden around the edges.<\/p>\n Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5\u201310 minutes<\/strong> before serving.<\/p>\n This gives the creamy sauce a little time to thicken and makes the casserole easier to scoop.<\/p>\n Serve this creamy casserole as a comforting main dish or alongside roasted chicken, grilled meat, or a simple salad.<\/p>\n It\u2019s perfect for busy weeknight dinners, family meals, potlucks, and cozy Sunday dinners.<\/strong><\/p>\n Prep Time:<\/strong> 5\u201310 minutes Creamy.
