Description
This creamy Instant Pot Tuna Casserole is a comforting meal that combines egg noodles, tuna, and peas in a rich sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 can tuna (8–12 oz. albacore chunk preferred, drained)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper (optional)
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 cup cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except for half and half and cheese into your Instant Pot and gently stir together.
- Put lid on and close steam valve.
- Set to pressure high for 3 minutes.
- Do a quick release and open the pot.
- Slowly stir in half and half and cheese (can use less or more cheese depending on your taste).
- Put lid back on ajar and allow to sit for about 3 minutes so it can thicken up and cheese can melt.
- Then take lid off. The longer it sits the thicker it will become. (you can add some hot liquid in a bowl with some cornstarch then add back into the pot to thicken quicker too)
- Serve!
Notes
- This dish can be personalized with your favorite vegetables or types of cheese.
- Make sure to drain the tuna well before adding it to the pot.
