A comforting and easy-to-make casserole featuring tuna, noodles, and a crispy topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy topping.
Cook the egg noodles in boiling salted water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Stir the noodles occasionally to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, melted butter, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Add the cooked noodles to the tuna mixture and stir until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the noodles.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and spread evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Sprinkle the crushed potato chips evenly over the top.
For extra crunch, use freshly crushed chips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Cooling slightly allows the flavors to meld together.
