• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup frozen peas

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

4. Stir in the curry powder, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

5. Add the cream of mushroom soup and milk to the skillet, stirring until smooth and fully combined. Let the mixture heat through for 2 minutes.

6. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, drained tuna, and frozen peas. Stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy.

7. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly with the sauce. Transfer the mixture to the greased casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

8. In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Mix until the breadcrumbs are coated.

9. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

11. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
