Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) canned tuna
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons (melted) butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente, drain, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the drained tuna, cooked egg noodles, diced onion, frozen peas, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently to combine.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a small amount of butter. Transfer the tuna and noodle mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the casserole.
Top the casserole with the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
