Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Canned tuna (drained)
- 1 can Cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 cups Dried egg noodles
- 1 cups Frozen peas
- 1 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for breadcrumb topping)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
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.
While the noodles are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, frozen peas, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Fold the cooked and drained noodles into the tuna mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
If using breadcrumbs for a topping, melt the butter in a small bowl and mix it with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs evenly over the mixture in the baking dish.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
