Instructions
- Start a pot of water boiling and add the egg noodles when it comes to a boil. Then reduce heat to med-high, or a temperature that will keep the noodles simmering. Stir occasionally.
- While noodles are cooking, heat a skillet to med-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil and butter. Then add the onion and celery. Cook until vegetables are soft and translucent.
- Turn heat to low and add the garlic, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook 20 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- While vegetables are cooking, check on the noodles so they don’t overcook. When they are just a little softer than al dente, take off heat, drain, and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl add the mushroom soup, tuna, cheddar cheese, parmesan, frozen peas, and parsley. Stir to combine.
- Stir in the onion mixture.
- Stir in the milk.
- Add the cooked, cooled noodles to the mixing bowl and stir gently to thoroughly combine.
- Transfer mixture to a 13 x 9 inch casserole baking dish and cover with a piece of sprayed foil. Cook at 375° F for 35-45 minutes.
- While the casserole is baking, add 2 Tbsp of butter to a skillet and melt it over med heat. Add the Panko bread crumbs and stir well. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Remove foil from the casserole and sprinkle on the bread crumbs and continue baking another 10-15 minutes, or until the bread crumbs are browned and the casserole is hot and bubbling.
- Remove casserole from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
