Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Casserole dish
  • Pot
  • Colander
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Oven mitts

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup celery diced
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 ½ cup peas
  • 6 ounces tuna water-packed drained
  • ½ cup cheese shredded; I like gouda
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 2 slices white bread crust removed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Prepare the egg noodles according to the package directions, but cook them for 1 minute less to keep them al dente. Drain the noodles, rinse with cold water and set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and translucent.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, milk, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir until smooth.
  • Fold in the sautéed onions and celery, peas, drained tuna and cooked noodles. Stir until the sauce coats all the ingredients well.
  • Tear the white bread slices into small pieces and place them in a small bowl. Add the shredded cheese. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, drizzle it over the bread pieces and toss until the bread is coated in butter.
  • Transfer the tuna noodle mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the bread and cheese topping evenly over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
