Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 cans (5 ounces each) tuna in water, drained
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain the noodles well.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and frozen peas. Mix until everything is well combined.
  4. Fold the cooked noodles into the tuna mixture. Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving your easy tuna casserole.

Notes

  • For extra flavor in your creamy tuna bake, add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture before baking.
  • If you do not have breadcrumbs, crushed potato chips make a great topping for this canned tuna recipe.
  • You can substitute cream of celery soup for the cream of mushroom soup if you prefer.
