💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat options lower calories while maintaining flavor.

egg noodles

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pasta

💰Cheaper: elbow macaroni

Whole wheat adds fiber; elbow macaroni is often less expensive.

canned tuna

🥗Healthier: fresh tuna

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Fresh tuna is healthier but more expensive; salmon is a cheaper alternative.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked noodles, canned tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and half of the cheddar cheese.

Add peas, chopped onion, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt; stir until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly.

Top with remaining cheddar cheese and sprinkle bread crumbs over the top.

Melt butter and drizzle over the bread crumbs for added flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
