Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 5 oz cans canned tuna, drained
- 1 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
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.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and frozen peas. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooked noodles to the bowl and gently stir to coat the noodles evenly with the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the noodle mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
