Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna
- 2 10.5-ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter 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 cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Stir well until the mixture is smooth.
Add the drained tuna, frozen peas, cooked egg noodles, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Gently mix everything together until combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Combine the melted butter with the bread crumbs and stir until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole, then evenly spread the buttered bread crumbs on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
