Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 8 oz white mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 5-oz cans canned tuna, drained and flaked
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are browned and tender.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions and mushrooms and stir to coat evenly, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the milk and chicken (or vegetable) broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 8

Gently fold in the drained tuna, frozen peas, salt, and black pepper, combining everything thoroughly.

Step 9

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles and the tuna-mushroom mixture. Pour this into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Sprinkle this over the top of the casserole.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
