Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles

- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling, salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), cream of mushroom soup, milk, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped onion. Stir until well mixed.
Add the cooked egg noodles, frozen peas, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the tuna mixture. Gently toss to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out into an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole, then top with the buttered breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Tasty Tuna Casserole!
