Ingredients

• 2 cups Egg noodles
• 10 ounces Canned tuna
• 1 can Cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions in a microwave-safe bowl with enough water to cover them. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), cream of mushroom soup, frozen peas, and milk. Stir until the mixture is well blended.

Step 3

Add the cooked noodles to the tuna mixture and stir gently to combine.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, mixing thoroughly.

Step 5

Spread the mixture evenly in a microwave-safe casserole dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30 seconds). Mix the melted butter with breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the top of the cheese layer.

Step 9

Cover the casserole loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe plate to prevent splatters.

Step 10

Microwave the casserole on high for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.

Step 11

Remove from the microwave carefully (it will be hot) and let it sit for 2 minutes before serving.
