Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
2 cups peas, canned, drained
1 cup carrot, drained
4 cans tuna, packed in water, drained
12 oz egg noodles, cooked according to package instructions and drained
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup butter crackers, crumbled
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33cm) baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened and very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, flour, Italian seasoning, and salt and cook for another minute, until thickened.
  • Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Once the mixture has thickened, 10-12 minutes, stir in the peas, carrots, and tuna.
  • Spread the cooked egg noodles in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the sauce over pasta in the pan and stir to combine. Add 2 cups of cheddar cheese and stir to incorporate. Spread the casserole in an even layer, then sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese on top.
  • In a small bowl, use a fork to mix together the cracker crumbs, Parmesan, and olive oil. Sprinkle over the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and bubbling.
  • Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover tuna. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.

This dish was a little too cheesy for my taste. I would reduce the amount of cheese next time.

I didn't have any bread crumbs, so I used crushed crackers instead. It worked out great!
