cream of mushroom soup

🥗Healthier: homemade mushroom sauce

💰Cheaper: cream of chicken soup

Homemade sauce can be lower in sodium and preservatives.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories while still melting well.

egg noodles

🥗Healthier: whole wheat noodles

💰Cheaper: elbow macaroni

Whole wheat adds fiber; macaroni is often cheaper.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier, while margarine is often less expensive.

Cook 8 oz of medium egg noodles according to package directions, then drain and rinse them.

Spray an 8x11 baking dish with non-stick spray.

Pour the cooked and rinsed egg noodles into the baking dish.

Mix 1 cup of cubed ham with about 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese in a bowl.

Sprinkle the ham and cheese mixture evenly over the noodles in the baking dish.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 can of cream of chicken soup with 1/2 cup of whole milk and mix well with a whisk.

Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the soup and milk mixture and stir to combine.

Pour the soup mixture evenly over the casserole, ensuring it spreads through the noodles.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until bubbling on the sides.
