Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
Make the sauce by whisking together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assemble the casserole by stirring noodles, shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of the bacon into the sauce mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon on top.
Bake covered with foil for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve after letting it rest for 5 minutes, garnished with green onions if desired.
Notes
This casserole can be easily customized with different types of cheese and proteins. For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use turkey bacon.
