Ingredients
Scale
1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain well.
In a large bowl, mix together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, drained tuna, milk, chopped onion, and black pepper.
Stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese until well combined.
Add the drained egg noodles to the cheese and tuna mixture. Toss gently to coat.
Pour half of the noodle mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the remaining cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of the remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
Top with the remaining noodle mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
Add the buttered breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For an even richer flavor, you can add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese with the other cheeses.
Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or corn for extra texture and flavor.
