Cast Iron Tuna Noodle Helper

 

This is a homemade version of the Tuna Helper from the box you all know...and maybe love?  My family devours this homemade version.  It makes A LOT, like a lot A LOT, so if you have a large family, this will be perfect for you.  It's enough to feed my family of 6 plus get a few lunches out of it for my husband to take to work for the week.

8 cups chicken broth

2 cans Cream of Chicken soup

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. salt

pepper to taste

16oz. bag of egg noodles

1 1/2 cups frozen peas

4 cans of tuna, drained

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 

In a large, 14" cast iron skillet, add the chicken broth, canned soup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Whisk until well combined.

Stir in the egg noodles and frozen peas.  Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to Low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, approximately 15 minutes.

Turn the heat off and stir in the tuna and shredded cheddar.

Give the tuna a few minutes to heat through and serve immediately.
