Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 10 ounces canned tuna, drained
- 15 ounces canned green beans, drained
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
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 medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Step 4
Gradually add the milk and chicken broth to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
Step 5
Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, cheese sauce, drained tuna, and green beans. Mix gently until evenly combined.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious tuna noodle casserole with green beans!
