Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups dry egg noodles or 4 ounces (see note about cooking)
  • 10 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup or homemade condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 10 ounces canned tuna in water drained and flaked
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 slices white bread cut up and then broken down to crumbs in a food processor (see note)
  • 1 tablespoon melted better

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cook the noodles according to package instructions.
  • Mix the condensed soup, milk, tuna, salt and pepper together in the prepared casserole dish. Then stir in the peas and the cooked noodles.
  • While the casserole bakes break down your bread and toss with melted butter. (See note about making this recipe easier).
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Top with bread and butter mixutre and bake for 5 more minutes or unitl the bread is golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You want to cook your egg noodles according to package instructions, subtracting 2 minutes from the boiling time. For example if your package says to cook for 10 to 12 minutes, you want to cook your noodles for 8 minutes.
If you want to make this recipe easier, skip the bread and make this with 1 cup of broken down Ritz crackers that have been tossed with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
