Ingredients
1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
1 cup frozen green peas
½ cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped onion
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
In a large bowl, mix together the soup and milk until well blended.
Stir in tuna, peas, celery, onion, cooked noodles, and 1 ½ cups of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with remaining ½ cup of cheese and bread crumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Notes
You can substitute cream of celery soup if desired.
Add a pinch of garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
