Ingredients

• 12 oz uncooked wide egg noodles
• 2 cans (10.5 oz each) condensed French onion soup
• 1½ cups sour cream
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (or mozzarella)

Directions

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Add the Noodles

Spread the uncooked egg noodles evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

3. Mix the Creamy Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed French onion soup and sour cream until smooth and well combined.

4. Combine the Ingredients

Pour the creamy French onion mixture evenly over the noodles, ensuring they are mostly covered so they cook properly.

5. Add the Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly across the top of the casserole.

6. Cover and Bake

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35–40 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavorful sauce.

7. Finish Baking

Remove the foil and continue baking for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden.

8. Rest and Serve

Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps the sauce thicken and makes the casserole easier to serve.

Serve warm and enjoy this rich and comforting French onion noodle casserole.
