During the weeknights, I either need to do a crockpot meal or something that takes under 30 minutes to prep. This is something I make often because it is quick, and everybody loves it. No complaints out of the little ones is always a win! Recipe for this savory egg noodle casserole below!
I am not a food blogger, so I am going to spare you fifty paragraphs of information, but I find food prep images helpful.
To note: Photos are before I started mixing the sour cream mixture with the noodles so it will look a little different!
I share our weekly meal plan in our email community along with this free meal planner bundle if you need some additional dinner ideas!
