Ingredients

1 12 oz package egg noodles
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup frozen green peas
2 6 oz cans tuna, drained preferably white tuna in water
1 26 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk (2%, whole or your favorite milk)
3/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black ground pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray with cooking spray a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta for about 10 to 12 minutes or until al dente; drain and rinse under cold water.
In a small skillet, over medium heat, add the 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter has melted, saute the 1/4 cup onions until soft and translucent. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the noodles (Note: reserve 1/2 cup of cheese to add on top of the casserole). Add the noodles and mix thoroughly.
Transfer mix to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.
