Easy Tuna Noodle Casserole (Classic Recipe) + Video

Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole is a classic family favorite! This recipe makes a creamy, easy tuna casserole with Ritz cracker topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces extra broad egg noodles
  • 2 cups frozen peas (or canned (See Notes))
  • 21.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup ((two 10.75-ounce cans) See Notes)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups sharp shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 20 ounces canned tuna (drained)
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Cook noodles 2 minutes less than package directions, to al dente. They should still have a bite to them, as they will continue cooking in the oven. Drain in a colander, but do not rinse.
  3. Meanwhile, to a large bowl, add condensed soup, milk, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Add warm pasta, canned peas, and tuna. Stir to combine. *See Notes if using frozen peas.
  4. Spread mixture evenly into a 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
  5. Combine the cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl and sprinkle evenly over top of the casserole.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
