Ingredients

• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 12 ounces canned tuna in water, drained
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 10.5-ounce can low-fat cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cup low-fat milk
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 0.3 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
• 0 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, frozen peas, cream of mushroom soup, low-fat milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add the cooked egg noodles to the bowl and gently stir to coat the noodles evenly with the tuna mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 8x8-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the whole-wheat breadcrumbs with a light spray of olive oil to moisten slightly. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
