A comforting and creamy tuna casserole made with egg noodles, canned tuna, peas, and a crunchy bread crumb topping. This classic dish is easy to prepare and perfect for a family dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
  • 1½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1½ cups crushed buttery round crackers (e.g. Ritz)
  • ¼ cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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 7 minutes. Drain.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, tuna, peas, Cheddar cheese, and cooked noodles. Mix well and pour into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the crushed crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
  5. Top with Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of celery soup for cream of mushroom if preferred.
  • For added crunch, mix some of the cheese into the cracker topping.
  • Use albacore tuna for a richer flavor.
