Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) canned tuna in water, drained
- 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, frozen peas, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Add the cooked noodles to the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat evenly with the tuna mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Tuna Noodle Casserole!
