Ingredients

1 bag (16 oz) wide egg noodles
1 pound ham (diced, 2 cups)
2 cups frozen peas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup plain panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x13 casserole baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Cook the egg noodles, in a large pot of salted water, according to the package directions. Cook to al dente or softer depending on preference.
1 bag (16 oz) wide egg noodles
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the ham, peas, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup, whole milk, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until combined well.
1 pound ham, 2 cups frozen peas, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Fold the noodles into the ham mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole.
1/2 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
Cook for 40-45 minutes or until the casserole is warmed through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Notes

Panko Breadcrumbs : This is optional and can easily be left off if wanted. The panko provides a crunchy, golden brown topping to the casserole. You can also use crushed Ritz crackers or Club crackers.

Do I Cover While Baking? : You can cover the casserole with tin foil while baking if wanted. If it's uncovered, the egg noodles peeking out will get crispy (which my kids don't love), so I will usually cover the casserole with foil and then remove the foil for the last 15-20 minutes of the bake time.

Frozen Peas : My family prefers super soft veggies so I use completely thawed peas. But there are other options too; use canned peas that have been drained and rinsed, or cook a microwaveable bag of peas according to package directions and then use 2 cups of the cooked, softened peas. If you are using frozen peas from the freezer (which is fine) the peas will come out more crisp tender.

Ham : Use up leftover diced ham, buy a package of diced ham (16 oz), get some fresh sliced deli ham and chop it up.
