Tuna casserole is a creamy, cheesy comfort food classic made with egg noodles, canned tuna, peas, and condensed soup. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, freezer-friendly, and budget-approved.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz wide egg noodles
  • 10 oz canned tuna (drained, 2 small cans)
  • 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz each)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Boil egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and return to the pot.
  3. Stir in tuna, peas, condensed soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until combined.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into a buttered 9×13 inch casserole dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and melted butter, then sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Notes

  • For a moister casserole, add an extra half can of soup and more milk.
  • Try using cream of celery or chicken soup for variety.
  • French-fried onions or crushed crackers can be used as topping alternatives.
  • Great for freezing—bake one, freeze one!
  • To cook from frozen, bake covered for 45–60 minutes, then uncover and bake for 20 minutes more.
