Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna
- 1 10.5-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup (chopped) onion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups (crushed) potato chips
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, canned tuna (drained), frozen peas, sautéed onion, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the mixing bowl and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by the crushed potato chips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the potato chip topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this classic comfort dish!
