Ingredients

• 8 ounces Egg noodles
• 10 ounces Canned tuna, drained
• 1 can Cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Unsalted cashews, roughly chopped
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 Onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

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 skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions, drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas, and chopped cashews. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 5

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then fold in the cooked egg noodles.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
