Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas, thawed
  • 3 cups cooked egg noodles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup buttered breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, chopped onion, and black pepper.
  3. Stir in the drained tuna and thawed peas.
  4. Add the cooked egg noodles and cheddar cheese to the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. Top the casserole evenly with the buttered breadcrumbs.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use cream of celery soup instead of cream of mushroom soup.
  • If you don’t have buttered breadcrumbs, you can mix 1/2 cup of plain breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  • For a crunchy topping, crushed potato chips can be used instead of breadcrumbs.
