Ingredients

Scale

3 cups cooked egg noodles

2 cups diced leftover ham

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups milk (preferably whole milk)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, but drain a minute or two before fully tender to prevent mushiness. Set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Toss in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, and whisk constantly for about 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste and start forming the roux.

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble gently, about 5-7 minutes.

Lower the heat and stir in shredded cheddar, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and sour cream. Keep stirring until all the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Remove from heat and fold in the cooked noodles and diced ham until everything is evenly coated in the cheese sauce.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. If desired, mix panko breadcrumbs with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle on top evenly.

Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbly. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

A delicious and comforting casserole recipe that transforms leftover ham into a creamy, cheesy, and satisfying meal with tender egg noodles and a crispy breadcrumb topping.
