    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

    Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, peas, 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

    5

    Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top. Then, evenly distribute the bread crumbs over the cheese layer for a crunchy topping.

    6

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
