How to Make Tuna Noodle Casserole
  1. Preheat Oven: Start by setting your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your Tuna Noodle Casserole gets that perfect golden finish.

  3. Combine Base: In your greased baking dish, mix together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, drained tuna, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Add Noodles and Peas: Gently fold the cooked egg noodles and frozen peas into the mixture.
  5. Prepare Topping: In a bowl, process the bread slices into crumbs, then combine them with melted butter.
  6. Bake Casserole: Pour the tuna mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake it uncovered for 20 minutes. Add breadcrumbs and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Serve Warm: Once out of the oven, let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
