Ingredients

• 2 cups Egg noodles
• 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
• 1 10.5-ounce can Condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the egg noodles in the microwave: Add 2 cups of egg noodles and enough water to completely cover them to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, stirring halfway through, until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix the condensed cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup of milk until smooth.

Step 3

Add the drained tuna, frozen peas, cooked noodles, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the soup mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Microwave the mixture on high for 5 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir. This helps heat everything evenly.

Step 5

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30 seconds on high). Stir in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Step 6

Remove the casserole from the microwave and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 7

Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the cheese layer for added texture and crunch.

Step 8

Return the casserole to the microwave and cook on high for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the casserole rest for 2 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
