Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles (dry)
- 4 cups shredded Swiss cheese (about 16 oz), divided
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook noodles in salted boiling water until just al dente (1–2 minutes less than package directions). Drain well.
- Mix sauce in a large bowl by whisking milk and cream of chicken soup until smooth.
- Add cheese by stirring in 3 cups of shredded Swiss cheese until evenly combined.
- Combine noodles & sauce and gently fold until fully coated.
- Transfer to baking dish and spread evenly.
- Top with remaining cheese for a golden, bubbly crust.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
- Rest 10 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly.
Tips & Variations
- Swap cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery for a deeper farmhouse flavor
- Mix Swiss with a little baby Swiss or Parmesan for extra richness
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of extra milk before baking
- Best results come from full-fat dairy (prevents separation)
- Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours
