2 cans cream of chicken soup
16 oz container French Onion Dip
1 cup cheddar cheese
12 oz egg noodles
1 cup crushed French fried onions

Tips:

  • When caramelizing the onions, be patient and cook them over low heat until they are a deep golden brown. This will develop their flavor and sweetness.
  • If you don't have time to caramelize the onions, you can use a jar of store-bought caramelized onions instead. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth for the best flavor. If you don't have any on hand, you can use water instead, but the flavor will be less rich.
  • If you want a thicker casserole, add a tablespoon or two of cornstarch to the flour mixture before stirring it into the broth. This will create a roux that will thicken the sauce.
  • Serve the casserole hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:
