My pork casserole with noodles recipe is a great way to use leftover pork tenderloin and other types of pork. This easy casserole is filled with creamy noodles, cheese, pork, and veggies. It’s one of our family’s favorite casseroles especially when we are in the mood for a cozy, comforting meal.
Pork noodle casserole is an easy dinner recipe
I developed this recipe when I had leftover pork tenderloin from dinner the night before. I hate to waste food and I wanted to repurpose the pork into something totally different for my kids.
With the help of egg noodles, frozen veggies, and a few other simple ingredients, this casserole was born and it ended up being a huge hit! Now my kids ask for it on a regular basis.

Easy, delicious and flexible.
Made this tonight, using penne pasta and topping with buttered panko bread crumbs st the end and my family loved it!
My husband and I loved this recipe. We used chickpea pasta instead of egg noodles. Also I did not have the soup and sour cream, so I used a bit of cream cheese, ricotta, and heavy cream. Added diced mushrooms as well. Simple and delish!
Instead of the peas and carrots, I sliced and lightly sauteed some mushrooms. In the last 10 minutes added some panko mixed with melted butter and sprinkled across the top. Then broiled just long enough to brown the panko crumbs. My husband absolutely loved it. This simple recipe will definitely be on our dinner table again.
I un-condensed my mushroom soup not sure if I should have. Also 1/2 most of the recipe. Came out good.
Can this casserole be frozen? I’ll ce away & would like to leave it for my hubby while I’m gone.
