Instructions
5 steps- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F and bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, then cook the egg noodles for about 6 minutes until just shy of al dente, since they will continue softening in the oven, and drain them well.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together both cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup with the 1/2 cup milk until smooth, then fold in the drained tuna, frozen peas, and 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese.
- 3
Add the drained noodles to the bowl and gently toss until every strand is coated in the creamy mixture, seasoning with a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper to taste.
- 4
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it into an even layer, then scatter the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar and the crushed potato chips evenly over the top.
- 5
Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until the casserole is bubbling at the edges and the topping is golden brown, then let it rest for 5 minutes before serving so the sauce sets.
