A comforting and easy one-pan tuna noodle casserole made with tender noodles, creamy sauce, and flaky tuna, all baked to golden perfection.
8 ounces egg noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen peas
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cans (5 ounces each) tuna in water, drained and flaked
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup crushed potato chips
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet or pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the egg noodles and 3 cups of water to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most of the water is absorbed, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas, cream of mushroom soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, flaked tuna, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the crushed potato chips evenly over the top of the casserole.
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
