• 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, and corn)
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 1 cup Crushed buttery crackers (such as Ritz)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a light coating of olive oil.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the ground turkey or chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until fully browned and cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 6

Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and mix in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Gently fold the cooked egg noodles into the skillet mixture, ensuring everything is coated evenly.

Step 9

Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.

Step 10

In a small bowl, combine the crushed crackers and melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.

Step 11

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the cracker layer.

Step 12

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and comforting New Baby Casserole!
