Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz medium egg noodles
- 10 oz canned tuna, drained
- 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 2 cups potato chips, crushed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and milk, whisking until smooth. Add the tuna, peas, black pepper, and salt, and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat, then fold in the cooked egg noodles and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is well-coated and the cheese has melted.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the casserole with the crushed potato chips, spreading them in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the potato chips are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
