    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

2

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes.

3

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bacon and cook until onion is tender and bacon is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.

4

Add flour; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Whisk in chicken stock, milk, mayonnaise, and soy sauce until combined. Remove from the heat and transfer sauce mixture to a large bowl.

5

Drain pasta and add to the sauce mixture. Stir in Cheddar cheese, corn, celery, cashews, salt, and pepper.

6

Transfer to the prepared casserole dish and spread crushed Ritz® crackers over top.

7

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.
