Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the undercooked noodles, thawed peas, and diced carrots.
- In the same pot used for noodles, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the drained tuna and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted.
- Pour the creamy tuna mixture over the noodles and vegetables. Fold gently until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, toss the crushed potato chips with melted butter and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the topping is golden-brown.
