A creamy and hearty Tuna Noodle Casserole that’s perfect for a comforting family meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) tuna, drained and flaked
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until just al dente. Drain well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and flaked tuna, cream of mushroom soup, frozen peas, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add the cooked egg noodles to the bowl and gently fold until all the noodles are well coated with the tuna and soup mixture.
- Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
- In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs with the olive oil until lightly moistened, then sprinkle them evenly over the cheese layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly around the edges and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes to set slightly.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, slice into portions, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a healthier option, you can use whole wheat egg noodles.
- Feel free to add any other vegetables you like, such as mushrooms or bell peppers.
- This casserole can be made ahead of time. Just cover it and refrigerate before baking, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
