Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups egg noodles, cooked al dente
  • 2 cans (5 ounces each) tuna packed in water, drained
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers or breadcrumbs for topping
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente (about 6-7 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  • Add mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until soft and slightly browned.
  • Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes to make a roux.
  • Gradually pour in the milk while whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the condensed cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Fold in the cooked noodles, tuna, and peas, mixing gently to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly.
  • Top with crushed buttery crackers for a crunchy finish.
  • Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
