Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Egg noodles
- 10 ounces Canned tuna
- 1 can Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions in a microwave-safe bowl with enough water to cover them. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), cream of mushroom soup, frozen peas, and milk. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Add the cooked noodles to the tuna mixture and stir gently to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, mixing thoroughly.
Spread the mixture evenly in a microwave-safe casserole dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30 seconds). Mix the melted butter with breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the top of the cheese layer.
Cover the casserole loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe plate to prevent splatters.
Microwave the casserole on high for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the microwave carefully (it will be hot) and let it sit for 2 minutes before serving.
