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 instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), cream of mushroom soup, milk, frozen peas, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fold the cooked noodles into the tuna mixture, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated.
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Transfer the noodle and tuna mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are moistened, then evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
