Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 10 oz (canned) tuna, drained
- 10.5 oz (1 can) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup potato chips, crushed
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas, chopped onion, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the tuna mixture and gently stir to coat the noodles evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed potato chips with melted butter. Stir to coat the chips evenly. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
