Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 10 ounces canned tuna in water, drained
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch 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 mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, frozen peas, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Add the cooked noodles to the mixture and gently fold everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the casserole.
Top the casserole with the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
