Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 6 oz cans canned tuna
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole 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, combine the ranch dressing, sour cream, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add the drained canned tuna, frozen peas, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Fold in the cooked egg noodles until evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until lightly toasted and golden brown. Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
