Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Egg noodles
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
- 1 10.5-ounce can Condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Cook the egg noodles in the microwave: Add 2 cups of egg noodles and enough water to completely cover them to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, stirring halfway through, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix the condensed cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup of milk until smooth.
Add the drained tuna, frozen peas, cooked noodles, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the soup mixture. Stir until well combined.
Microwave the mixture on high for 5 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir. This helps heat everything evenly.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30 seconds on high). Stir in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Remove the casserole from the microwave and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the cheese layer for added texture and crunch.
Return the casserole to the microwave and cook on high for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the casserole rest for 2 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
