Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna
- 2 cups chow mein noodles
- 1 10.5-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped onion
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk until blended.
Drain the canned tuna and flake it apart with a fork. Add the tuna, finely chopped onion, frozen peas, soy sauce, and black pepper to the soup mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Gently fold in the chow mein noodles, being careful not to break them too much.
Lightly spray a microwave-safe casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the casserole.
Cover the casserole dish with a microwave-safe lid or use microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving one corner slightly open for venting.
Microwave on high power for 12-15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and hot throughout. Pause halfway through the cooking time to stir gently and ensure even heating.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, uncovered, as it will continue to set during this time.
Serve warm and enjoy your quick and comforting tuna chow mein casserole.
