To make this casserole, I started by dumping some butter into a large pot over medium heat.

Once the butter was melted, I added some diced yellow onions to the pan.

I stirred the onions and butter together well.

I left the onions to cook, stirring occasionally, until they were nicely browned.

Then I added some water and a packet of onion soup mix to the pot.

I whisked the water and soup mix together well.

Then I added some egg noodles to the pot.

I spread the noodles out so that they were all as submerged in the liquid as possible.

Then I placed a lid on the pot and left the noodles to cook, stirring occasionally, for seven minutes.

After seven minutes, I removed the lid and stirred well.

Then I turned off the heat and added some condensed cream of chicken soup, salt and pepper to the pot.

I stirred until all of the noodles were coated in the cream of chicken soup.

Then I added some cooked, shredded chicken to the pot.

I stirred the shredded chicken and noodles together well.

Then I dumped the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

I dumped some shredded mozzarella and shredded parmesan into a mixing bowl.

Then I added some French’s crispy fried onions to the mixing bowl.

I stirred the shredded cheese and crispy onions together.

Then I sprinkled the cheese and fried onions mixture on top of the noodles in the baking dish.

I covered the baking dish with aluminum foil and placed it in the oven for twenty minutes.

After twenty minutes I removed the foil from the dish.

I continued baking the casserole for five minutes uncovered to crisp up the onions on top.

Then I removed the casserole from the oven.

I sliced and served the French onion casserole immediately.
