Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 10 ounces canned tuna
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the canned tuna (drained), frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Pour the cooked egg noodles into the skillet and gently toss to coat the noodles with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and mix it with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from oven, let it cool for 5 minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy!
