Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy One-Pot Tuna Casserole.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once it's bubbling, toss in the egg noodles and let them cook until they reach that perfect al dente texture, which should take about 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 3
To add a pop of color and sweetness, stir in the thawed peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking.

When the time is up, drain the pasta and peas together, letting all that water escape.

Now, return to the same pot and melt some butter over medium heat, allowing it to create a rich base for your sauce.
Step 6
Next, stir in the creamy mushroom soup, followed by the drained tuna, a splash of milk, and a generous handful of shredded Cheddar cheese.
Step 7
Keep stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes wonderfully smooth and inviting.
Step 8
Once your sauce is ready, gently fold the drained pasta and peas back into the pot.
Step 9
Give everything a good stir, ensuring that each noodle and pea is lovingly coated in that creamy goodness.
Step 10
Serve this delightful dish warm, and enjoy the comforting flavors that come together in every bite.
