Scale
- 8 ounces dry wide egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups 2% milk
- 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
- 1 (5-ounce) can tuna, drained
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-low heat.
- Once the butter is melted, slowly mix in the flour to form a paste-like substance.
- Gradually add the milk, a little at a time, stirring until smooth after each addition.
- Turn the heat up to medium to medium-high and continue stirring to prevent scalding.
- When the sauce starts to bubble, you will also notice it thickening.
- Once the sauce is about as thick as gravy and coats the back of your mixing spoon, add in the cooked noodles.
- Mix the noodles well.
- Stir in the corn, peas, and tuna and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
