Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until they are just al dente, then drain them and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Stir the cooked noodles, shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of the bacon into the sauce mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  5. Pour the casserole mixture into the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon evenly on top.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes; then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving, garnishing with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Adjust salt and pepper to taste. For a richer flavor, consider using homemade cream of chicken soup or adding a pinch of dried thyme to the sauce.
