Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, bell pepper, parsley, and garlic in hot butter until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning; simmer for 5 minutes more.
Step 3
Pour in 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and mushrooms; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in cooked noodles and green onions until well combined. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese to serve.
