Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, frozen peas, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the mixture and gently fold to coat the noodles evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
