Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 12 ounces Canned tuna (drained)
- 2 cans Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small Onion (diced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles for 2 minutes less than the package's recommended cooking time. Drain and set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, cooked onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Gently fold in the cooked egg noodles, tuna, frozen peas, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
Lightly grease the inside of a crock pot with non-stick spray or a thin layer of butter.
Transfer the tuna noodle mixture into the crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the mixture for a crispy topping.
Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours or until the casserole is hot and bubbly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
