How to Make Leftover Ham Casserole
To make this delicious ham and noodle casserole, begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Next, in a large saucepan cook noodles according to package directions to al dente. Be sure to add salt to the water! Drain egg noodles and return to the pan.
Stir in the ham, chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, and the pepper; stir well.
Finally, transfer the creamy noodle mixture to the 13×9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the 2 cups cheese over the top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Yes, this is one of those old-fashioned casserole recipes that utilize condensed Campell’s Cream of Chicken Soup. If you love easy, down-home casseroles, don’t miss my classic green bean casserole.
I realize that these condensed soups are not really in fashion in today’s world—and I get it—but I still think that they offer a really simple way to bring tasty casseroles to the table for regular folks.
It’s me. I am regular folks!
Homemade Substitute Cream of Chicken Soup
If you’d prefer to substitute, here’s my homemade cream of chicken soup.
Just melt 3 tablespoons of quality butter (I love Kerrygold) in a saucepan over medium-low heat. When melted, whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour until smooth.
Next, whisk in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of whole milk.
Whisking constantly, bring to a gentle boil until it thickens. Add your salt and pepper to desired taste, and you’ve got the homemade equivalent of 1 can of condensed soup.
I hope you enjoy this old-fashioned ham and noodle casserole as much as my family does!
