Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite
7 to 9 minutes.
While the noodles are cooking
heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell peppers in the hot oil until tender
5 to 7 minutes.
Pour condensed soup into the saucepan. Add tuna
milk
salt
and pepper; mix until well combined. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Drain egg noodles well. Fold noodles into the tuna mixture until well coated. Transfer to a 2-quart casserole and sprinkle bread crumbs over top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is crisp and golden brown
20 to 30 minutes.
Tips
For a change of pace
I use pasta shells or spirals instead of egg noodles. I also add canned chopped green chiles and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
and sometimes top the casserole with sliced American or Cheddar cheese instead of bread crumbs.
