Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces wide egg noodles
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1.5 (12 ounce) cans evaporated skim milk

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Categories     Casseroles

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp minced onion
2 Tbsp minced green pepper
2 c diced franks (about 5)
1/8 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 can(s) condensed cream-of-chucken soup, undiluted
2 c cooked noodles
3/4 c grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Saute onion and green pepper in butter until tender; add franks, curry, salt, soup, noodles, and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
  • 2. Turn into 2-qt casserole dish. Top with rest of cheese. Bake 30 min.

Tips:

  • For a crispier casserole, use a combination of shredded and thinly sliced potatoes. The shredded potatoes will help to thicken the casserole while the thinly sliced potatoes will add a crispy texture.
  • If you don't have any leftover turkey, you can use cooked chicken or ground beef instead.
  • Add some chopped vegetables to the casserole, such as carrots, celery, or onion, for a healthier and more flavorful dish.
  • If you're using a pre-made cream of celery soup, be sure to taste it before adding it to the casserole. Some brands can be quite salty.
  • Top the casserole with a generous amount of shredded cheese before baking. This will help to create a golden brown and bubbly crust.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Yankee Doodle Casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy sauce, tender turkey, and crispy potato topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
