Chicken Noodle Casserole

Posted on by simplegoodfood

Two stand above all others in the world of egg noodle casserole recipes: tuna noodle and chicken noodle casserole. This is one of the ultimate comfort foods, perfect for potlucks, freezer-meal planning, gifts for friends going through a tough time and more. It’s an easy meal you can make after a long day, feeding several people. This recipe is very easy to modify if you want to add or substitute other ingredients, including vegetables and cheese.

Chicken Noodle Casserole Ingredients

Ingredients for Chicken Noodle Casserole overhead on marble
Jena Carlin for Taste of Home
  • Egg noodles: Al dente egg noodles give this casserole the right “bite,” one that’s soft but not mushy.
  • Condensed cream of chicken soup: This adds creaminess and acts as a binder for the other ingredients.
  • Sour cream: This adds a little acidity to balance out the richness of the soup and milk.
  • Milk: 2% milk adds a little more fat to the casserole, increasing the creamy texture but not going overboard.
  • Chicken breast: Use canned chicken, leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken in this casserole.
  • Ritz crackers: The classic cracker topping crumbles easily and soak up melted butter.
  • Butter: Mixing creamy butter with the crackers produces a delicious golden-brown topping.

For those who like me, are cooking for themselves, while getting your ingredients for this recipe, take a look at the bagged salads in the Produce section. I don’t know what store you visit, but I can tell you that Walmart has single serving salads available.

Recipe Ingredients

ExtraTextTypeImageMediumUrl

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make Sloppy Joe Casserole.

Ground Beef: You want 2 lb of 90% lean ground beef here–just enough fat to help cook the vegetables. The meat will get coated in sauce, so no need for extra fat to lend moisture.

Tomato Sauce: Use a whole can of tomato sauce (don’t confuse it with tomato puree). If you can’t find a 15 oz can, use just under 2 cups of sauce.

Sharp Cheddar Cheese: We added cheese to really take this casserole over the top. It adds a lot of gooey texture and flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer no cheese.

Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits: We love Flaky Layers Biscuits for a light, delicate biscuit topping.  

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, salt, tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, paprika.

Pork Chops and Scalloped Potatoes

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

When you’re in the mood for comfort food, pork chops and scalloped potatoes are a dinner combination that everyone will love. But when they’re baked together, with layers of tender sliced potatoes and onions bubbling in an simple gravy, they turn into a pork chop and potato casserole that really is one of the easiest pork dinner recipes ever.

You briefly sear the pork chops for extra flavor, then add them to the covered casserole, where they stay moist and tender as they cook. It’s one of those crowd-pleasing meals that you can make for all kinds of occasions—dinner with the kids, a special weekend supper when your family comes over, or even to share with friends at a dinner party.

Ingredients for Pork Chops with Scalloped Potatoes

  • Pork rib chops: The casserole gets a long bake in the oven, so the type of pork chop you choose is essential. Pork rib chops have more fat than loin chops, which helps them stay juicy once cooked. Buy chops that are sliced about 3/4-inch thick.
  • Potatoes: Thinly sliced potatoes make a savory bed for the pork chops. Yukon Golds or russets are the best type of potatoes here; you’ll need about four to six medium potatoes to get 6 cups of sliced potatoes. A mandoline (an essential kitchen tool) makes thin, perfectly even slices.
  • Onion: Use yellow, white or even sweet onions for this recipe. Slice the onion into thin rings to cook with the scalloped potatoes.
  • Oil: You need just a little vegetable oil in the skillet to sear the pork chops. Browning meat in fat adds color and extra flavor.
  • Chicken broth: Use a good quality store-bought or homemade chicken broth. It’s the base of a simple gravy that simmers the potatoes and onions.
  • Butter: Use melted salted or unsalted butter to make the roux that thickens the gravy.
  • Flour: Whisk all-purpose flour into the melted butter to make the roux.
  • Seasonings: Season the pork chops simply with salt and pepper. Paprika and fresh parsley are optional seasonings you can use as a garnish for color and flavor.
