Sausage Noodle Casserole
This is cozy and hearty; a classic comfort food the whole family will love!
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles we prefer extra wide
- 1 (16 ounce) package pork sausage such as Jimmy Dean
- 1/2 medium yellow onion chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk any kind
- 1 and 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 8-10 cranks freshly-ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2/3 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook egg noodles just shy of al dente, according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- While the noodles cook, add sausage and onion to a large oven-safe skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring to break the sausage up into crumbles, until the onion is tender and the sausage is browned. Using a large spoon or spatula, transfer the mixture to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. If a lot of fat remains in the pan, drain a bit off.
- Melt butter in the same skillet, then add the chopped mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute more. Gradually stir in milk and broth, then season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Return sausage and onion to the pan, followed by the cheese and cooked egg noodles. Stir well and remove pan from the heat. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
- This makes a large casserole. Leftovers keep very well, so it's great for sharing or eating over several days. Of course you can also halve the recipe; I just find it simpler to use the full packages of egg noodles and sausage. The extras always seem to disappear!
