Ingredients
- 12 oz Egg noodles
- 12 oz Canned tuna (drained)
- 2 cups Cream of mushroom soup
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
Add the canned tuna, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mixing bowl, and stir until well combined.
Fold the cooked egg noodles into the mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter, mixing 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 breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
