Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles, cooked and drained
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, drained tuna, cooked egg noodles, and 1/2 cup milk. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until a smooth paste forms.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens into a sauce.
  5. Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder into the sauce.
  6. Pour the sauce over the tuna noodle mixture in the large bowl and stir gently until everything is well coated.
  7. Pour the entire mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  9. Crush the butter crackers and sprinkle them over the cheese layer for a delightful crunchy topping.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Notes

  • For an extra cheesy casserole, you can add another layer of cheese in the middle of the mixture before baking.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or corn for added flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a creamier casserole, you can add a splash more milk to the sauce.
