Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna packed in water, drained
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
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, cream of mushroom soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well incorporated.
Gently fold the cooked egg noodles into the mixture until evenly coated.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a nonstick spray or a thin layer of butter, and pour the noodle mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and parsley, stirring until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and toasted, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole evenly.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
