Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 10 oz canned tuna packed in water
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth.
Gently fold in the cooked noodles, tuna (drained and flaked), frozen peas, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
