Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 12 ounces canned tuna in water, drained
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 10.5-ounce can low-fat cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.3 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, frozen peas, cream of mushroom soup, low-fat milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the bowl and gently stir to coat the noodles evenly with the tuna mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 8x8-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, combine the whole-wheat breadcrumbs with a light spray of olive oil to moisten slightly. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
