Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles

- 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish or baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, cooked onions and garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Fold the drained tuna, frozen peas, and cooked egg noodles into the mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until combined. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your 'Oh Joyful Tuna Noodle Bake'!
