Notes

To elevate this classic, consider sautéing finely diced onions and celery until translucent before adding them to the mixture for an aromatic foundation. A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg or a dash of Worcestershire sauce can add unexpected depth. For a richer, more complex topping, gently toast the bread crumbs in a dry pan until golden before mixing with melted butter; this enhances their texture and flavor. Ensure egg noodles are cooked al dente, as they will continue to soften in the oven, preventing a mushy casserole. For a fresher flavor, incorporate some chopped fresh parsley or dill before serving. If desired, replace a portion of the milk with heavy cream for a more luxurious texture, or add a handful of shredded sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese to the mixture for extra savory notes.
