Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Spray 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray- set aside
Cook noodles to package directions (usually boil for 6-8 minutes) drain & place in a large bowl
Add in cooked chicken, corn, peas, condensed soup, milk, minced onions, granulated garlic, cheese & bacon pieces
Fold to combine & transfer to prepared baking dish
Top with french fried onions
Bake 25-30 minutes or until bubbling & hot throughout
**Note: per reader feedback I do not advise substituting the egg noodles with another kind, such as elbow macaroni. Those tend to soak up more of the moisture & leave the casserole dry.
