Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles (or preferred pasta)
- 2 5 oz cans canned tuna, drained
- 1 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp 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 directions, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, whole milk, frozen peas, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooked noodles to the mixture and gently stir until evenly coated.
Transfer the noodle mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, ensuring it fully covers the noodles.
In a small bowl, stir the breadcrumbs and melted butter together until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
