- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and thawed peas. Season with salt and black pepper, and mix until well blended.
Add the cooked noodles to the mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
