This Chicken Noodle Casserole with Velveeta is an easy, creamy comfort food dinner made with tender chicken, egg noodles, and melty cheese that is perfect for busy weeknights or feeding a crowd. Simple ingredients and quick prep make this family friendly casserole recipe ideal for potlucks, meal prep, and cozy homemade dinners everyone will love.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a casserole dish, preferably one with a glass lid so everything bakes evenly and stays nice and creamy.
Cook the egg noodles in salted water until just tender, then drain well and add them directly to the casserole dish.
Add the chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, and cubed Velveeta cheese straight into the same casserole dish with the noodles. Stir everything together until well combined.
Cover the casserole dish with the glass lid. If you do not have a lid, tightly cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake covered for 30 minutes so the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy without drying out.
Remove the lid or foil, stir gently, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly around the edges.
If desired, sprinkle dried onion chips over the top during the last few minutes of baking for added texture and flavor.
Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the casserole sets up slightly.
