Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipe

Prep Time::20 mins

Cook Time::35 mins

Total Time::55 mins

Servings::6

Yield::1 2-quart casserole

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

¼ cup chopped onion

¼ cup chopped green bell pepper

¼ cup chopped red bell pepper

1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of Cheddar cheese soup

1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained

¼ cup milk

¼ teaspoon salt

ground black pepper to taste

¼ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes.

While the noodles are cooking, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell peppers in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Pour condensed soup into the saucepan. Add tuna, milk, salt, and pepper; mix until well combined. Reduce heat to medium-low.

Drain egg noodles well. Fold noodles into the tuna mixture until well coated. Transfer to a 2-quart casserole and sprinkle bread crumbs over top.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is crisp and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips

For a change of pace, I use pasta shells or spirals instead of egg noodles. I also add canned chopped green chiles and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, and sometimes top the casserole with sliced American or Cheddar cheese instead of bread crumbs.
