Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, add egg noodles, and cook until al dente (6-8 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  3. In a big mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk. Whisk in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Fold cooked noodles into the sauce mixture along with shredded chicken. Sprinkle in half of the cheddar cheese and half of the cooked bacon. Stir until well-coated.
  5. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with remaining cheddar cheese and bacon.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped green onions.
