Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 cans 5 ounces each chunk light tuna, drained
  • 1 can 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, usually 7-8 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup and milk, stirring until smooth.
  4. Add drained tuna, frozen peas, shredded cheddar, diced onion, garlic powder, and black pepper to the soup mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Fold in the cooked noodles until everything is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
  6. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. In a small bowl, combine crushed potato chips with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  8. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potato chip topping.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown.
  10. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
