Ingredients
  

12 oz egg noodles

1 can (15 oz) tuna, drained and flaked

1 cup frozen peas

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (plus additional for topping)

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup crushed potato chips (for a crunchy topping)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for baking the casserole.

    Cook the Egg Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until just al dente. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.

      Prepare the Creamy Base: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture well until it is smooth and all ingredients are fully integrated.

        Incorporate the Remaining Ingredients: Gently fold the cooked egg noodles, flaked tuna, frozen peas, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the creamy mixture. Ensure that everything is evenly coated in the sauce, being careful not to break up the tuna too much.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Pour the noodle mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom.

            Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese generously over the top of the casserole. Follow this with an even layer of crushed potato chips to add a delightful crunch.

              Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the top has turned a golden brown color.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and additional flavor.
