Dump-and-Bake Sausage Noodle Casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together condensed soups, milk, chicken broth, parsley, oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the diced tomatoes, smoked sausage, uncooked pasta, ½ cup of the fried onions, and ½ cup of the cheese.

Step 3

Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the foil and give everything a stir in the dish. At this point, check to make sure that the pasta is al dente (tender, but with a firm bite). If it’s still too hard, cover again and return to the oven until the pasta is al dente. Once the pasta is al dente, stir in the frozen peas, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of onions and ½ cup of cheese over top.

Step 5

Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 5-10 more minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the cheese is melted on top. Garnish with sliced green onions or chopped fresh herbs and serve!
