- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter and set aside.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles 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, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Stir well until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Add the drained tuna, frozen peas, cooked egg noodles, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Gently mix everything together until combined.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Combine the melted butter with the bread crumbs and stir until evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole, then evenly spread the buttered bread crumbs on top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.

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