2 cups egg noodles, cooked and drained ๐
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup ๐
1/2 cup milk ๐ฅ
1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained and flaked ๐
1 cup frozen peas, thawed ๐ฟ
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded ๐ง
1/4 cup breadcrumbs ๐
2 tbsp butter, melted ๐ง
Salt and pepper to taste ๐ง

1. Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). ๐ฅ While the oven is heating, make sure to grease your baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. ๐ฒ This will help you achieve that perfect golden brown top! Meanwhile, start boiling water in a large pot for the egg noodles. ๐ง
2. Cook the egg noodles. ๐ Once the water is boiling, add a generous pinch of salt and drop the noodles in. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. ๐ Cook the noodles until they are just al dente, around 6-8 minutes. Overcooking the noodles can make them mushy, so keep an eye on them! When done, drain the noodles in a colander and set them aside to cool slightly. ๐ฅฃ
3. Prepare the tuna mixture. ๐ In a large bowl, pour in the cream of mushroom soup ๐ and milk ๐ฅ. Whisk the two together until smooth, making sure there are no lumps. Once smooth, add the drained tuna ๐, breaking it into smaller chunks as you stir. Toss in the thawed peas ๐ฟ, and give everything a good mix so that each bite is full of flavor! ๐ฅ
4. Combine the noodles with the sauce. ๐ Now itโs time to combine the creamy tuna mixture with your perfectly cooked noodles. Gently fold the noodles into the tuna mixture, being careful not to break them. ๐ฅข Stir until each noodle is generously coated with the sauce, ensuring even distribution of the tuna and peas throughout. Season with salt and pepper ๐ง to taste, making sure your casserole is perfectly seasoned. ๐
5. Assemble the casserole. ๐ฒ Pour the tuna noodle mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Be sure to press down lightly so the casserole sets properly while baking. You want an even layer of noodles, tuna, and sauce throughout! ๐
6. Top with cheese and breadcrumbs. ๐ง Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top of the casserole, covering every corner. In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs ๐ with the melted butter ๐ง, stirring until the crumbs are fully coated. This will ensure your casserole has that irresistible crispy golden topping! ๐ฅง Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese. Your casserole is ready to bake! ๐๐ง
7. Bake the casserole. ๐ฅ Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. ๐ Youโll know itโs ready when the edges are bubbling and the topping is perfectly crisp. If the breadcrumbs start to brown too quickly, loosely cover the casserole with aluminum foil to prevent burning. โณ
8. Let the casserole rest. โฒ๏ธ After removing the casserole from the oven, let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the casserole to firm up, making it easier to cut and serve. ๐ฝ๏ธ Serve it warm and enjoy every creamy, cheesy, crispy bite! ๐ฅฐ
