Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 10 oz canned tuna (drained)
• 5 cups baby spinach
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cups milk
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.75 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a light coat of cooking spray or olive oil.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Stir the baby spinach into the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Add the cooked egg noodles, drained tuna, sautéed spinach mixture, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl with the soup mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the parmesan cheese.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Tuna Spinach Casserole!
