Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 2 10.5-ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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, frozen peas, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup), milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Add the cooked noodles to the mixture and gently fold until the noodles are evenly coated.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the noodle mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole. Then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
