Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 12 ounces canned tuna, drained
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 cups frozen green peas, thawed
- 1 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil spray.
Cook the egg noodles in a pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, green peas, cheddar cheese, and chopped onion. Add the salt and black pepper, stirring until everything is well mixed.
Gently fold the cooked egg noodles into the tuna mixture, ensuring the noodles are fully coated.
Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and stir until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the grated parmesan cheese and dried parsley.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly around the edges and the topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy tuna noodle casserole!
