Notes

Here are some suitable and complementary side dishes that would pair beautifully with a Ham and Noodle Casserole:

Simple Green Salad: A crisp mix of lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette helps cut through the richness of the casserole.
Garlic Bread or Dinner Rolls: Soft, warm bread is perfect for mopping up any leftover custard or cheese sauce.
Sautéed Spinach or Kale: Quickly wilted greens with a hint of garlic or lemon complement the casserole without overpowering it.
Pickles or Pickled Vegetables: Something lightly pickled, like gherkins or pickled onions, can add a subtle tang that offsets the richness of the ham and cheese.
