Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cans canned tuna, drained and flaked
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking 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 drained canned tuna, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas and carrots, chopped onion, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Gently fold the cooked egg noodles into the mixture until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and paprika. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Top the breadcrumbs with the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
