• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the frozen pierogies according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the drained tuna, frozen peas, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Gently fold in the cooked pierogies, making sure they're evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until evenly coated and slightly golden, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the cheese layer in the casserole dish.

Step 10

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