Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 10 oz canned tuna
- 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Add the cooked egg noodles, canned tuna (drained), frozen peas, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl with the sauce. Gently mix until everything is well combined.
Step 5
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Pour the tuna noodle mixture into the prepared dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 6
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until they are evenly coated and lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, followed by the toasted breadcrumbs.
Step 8
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
