Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles for 2 minutes less than the package's recommended cooking time. Drain and set aside.

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Gently fold in the cooked egg noodles, tuna, frozen peas, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined.

Step 5

Lightly grease the inside of a crock pot with non-stick spray or a thin layer of butter.

Step 6

Transfer the tuna noodle mixture into the crock pot, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the mixture for a crispy topping.

Step 8

Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours or until the casserole is hot and bubbly.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
