Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna in water, drained
- 2 10.5-ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish 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, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cooked noodles, drained tuna, frozen peas, diced onion, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Mix until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
