# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a 33x23 cm baking dish.
02 -
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the egg noodles until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
03 -
In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly blended.
04 -
Gently fold the cooked noodles, shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of the crumbled bacon into the sauce. Ensure the mixture is thoroughly coated.
05 -
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon.
06 -
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
07 -
Allow casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Letting the casserole rest briefly after baking helps the sauce thicken slightly and enhances the overall texture.
