Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna packed in water, drained
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well incorporated.
Step 4
Gently fold the cooked egg noodles into the mixture until evenly coated.
Step 5
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a nonstick spray or a thin layer of butter, and pour the noodle mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and parsley, stirring until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and toasted, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole evenly.
Step 8
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
