Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, frozen peas, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, diced onion, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the breadcrumbs and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and toasty.
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bake is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Tuna Rice Bake warm with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal!
