Tuna Bake-adapted from Tasty Kitchen
Total Time: 50 Minutes
Serves 6

• 2 cups dry egg noodles
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups cheddar cheese
• 12 ounces chunk tuna
• 15 ounces peas
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Cook noodles in boiling water according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and seasonings. Add milk and whisk until slightly thickened-usually by the time it starts to boil. Add cheese to mixture and whisk until blended. 

Stir in tuna, peas and cooked noodles and mix well. Transfer to the greased baking dish. Top with the breadcrumbs. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
