Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 2 6-ounce cans Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 10.5-ounce cans Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the drained tuna and frozen peas to the soup mixture. Mix until evenly combined.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Layer half of the cooked egg noodles evenly along the bottom of the dish.
Spread half of the tuna mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tuna layer.
Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, tuna mixture, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.
In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
