Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 10 oz canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tbsp dried onion flakes
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup potato chips (crushed, for topping)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, milk, dried onion flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Gently fold in the cooked egg noodles, drained tuna, frozen peas, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the noodle mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crushed potato chips evenly over the top for added crunch and texture.
Serve immediately while warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
