Cooking Instructions

While that warms up, gather all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a lively boil.
Step 4
Once it’s bubbling, toss in the egg noodles and cook them until they’re tender yet still have a delightful bite, which should take about 7 to 9 minutes.
Step 5
After they’re done, drain the noodles and set them aside, letting them cool a bit.

Next, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the cooked noodles with a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, drained tuna, frozen peas, sliced mushrooms, and chopped onion.
Step 7
Stir everything together until it’s well mixed and looks inviting.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to transfer this delicious mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 9
For the finishing touch, sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded Cheddar cheese on top, followed by a generous layer of crushed potato chips to add that perfect crunch.
Step 10
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 11
Once it’s ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few moments.
Step 12
Then, serve it hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of your homemade tuna casserole! It’s a dish that’s sure to bring smiles to the table.
