Ingredients

Scale

2 tbs olive oil
1 small onion
1 lb button mushrooms
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme, minced (optional)
2 cans tuna, drained
1 cup chicken broth or water
2 cups milk (whole or reduced fat)
8 oz egg noodles
1 cup frozen peas (optional)
1 cup crumbled potato chips
cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
In a large, oven safe skillet, sauté onions and mushrooms over medium heat until all liquid has absorbed and mushrooms are browned, about 10 minutes.
Add tuna, salt, pepper and thyme and stir to combine.
Add uncooked noodles, broth or water and milk. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer over low heat until most of the liquid is absorbed and noodles are cooked to al dente (about 10 minutes).
Remove mixture from heat. Add peas (if desired) and mix until evenly dispersed with the noodles.
Spread mixture evenly in pan and top with an even layer of crumbled potato chips. Transfer pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until mixture is bubbly and chips are golden brown. Serve immediately.
