Ingredients

2 cups Water, divided
1 pkg Country Sausage Gravy Mix
2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (12 oz) bag Wide egg noodles, cooked and drained
1 1/2 cups Frozen peas
8 oz Cooked ham, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

This Ham and Pea Noodle Casserole uses Pioneer® Country Sausage Gravy Mix to build the rich, creamy sauce that ties all the hearty ingredients together and gives this one-dish dinner its deeply satisfying, from-scratch flavor.

Instructions

  1. Make Gravy and Combine Filling

    Preheat conventional oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Whisk together Pioneer Country Sausage Flavor Gravy Mix and remaining water in a small bowl. Pour gravy mixture into the boiling water, whisking constantly until completely smooth and thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in cheese until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add noodles, peas and ham, and toss to coat.

  2. Top with Breadcrumbs and Bake

    Transfer noodle mixture to prepared baking dish in an even layer. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan and butter in a small bowl until combined. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture evenly over noodle mixture. Bake until bread crumbs are golden-brown and sauce is bubbling, about 25-30 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve. Tip: Feel free to use leftover cooked ham or deli ham!
