Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 cups canned tuna in water (drained)
- 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups mild cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
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, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a smooth sauce.
Add the cooked noodles, canned tuna, frozen peas, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and grated parmesan cheese until the breadcrumbs are coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven 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 cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Terrific Tuna Casserole with a side salad or crusty bread.
