Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Gluten Free Egg Noodles
  • 2 cans Tuna in Water (5 oz each, drained and flaked)
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion (diced)
  • 2 stalks Celery (diced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 3 tbsp Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth (gluten free)
  • 1 1/2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded, divided)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder

For the Topping

  • 1 cup Gluten Free Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cook the gluten free egg noodles according to the package directions until just al dente, about 1 minute less than recommended. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle the gluten free flour blend over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar, salt, black pepper, and onion powder until the cheese is melted. Fold in the cooked noodles, drained tuna, and frozen peas.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish if not using an oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar evenly on top.
  • In a small bowl, toss the gluten free panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter and garlic powder. Scatter the breadcrumb mixture over the casserole.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
