Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, dice the Spam into small cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth sauce.
Add the diced Spam, cooked noodles, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas, and diced onion to the sauce mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
If using breadcrumbs, mix them with melted butter in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the casserole warm and enjoy!
