Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups wide egg noodles, cooked (the twisted kind )
6 oz chunk light tuna, drained
1/3 cup roasted red pepper, finely chopped and dried of packing water
8 oz water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
1 tbsp onion, minced
4 tbsp butter
1 cup fresh breadcrumb
6 tbsp butter, divided
2 tbsp flour
1 1/4 cups milk
salt and pepper
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking dish.
Combine the cooked noodles, tuna, red peppers, water chestnuts and onion, and mix to combine.
In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter and add two tablespoons flour. Stir well until a paste forms - do not allow to brown. Add the milk, continue stirring, and bring to a boil. Add the salt and pepper, lower the heat and cook for another minute. Add the cheddar cheese and cook for another minute or until a smooth, creamy sauce develops. Stir in a pinch of cayenne.
Pour the sauce over the noodle mixture and stir well to combine.
In a small pan, melt the remaining four tablespoons butter, add the breadcrumbs and cook until slightly browned. Spread breadcrumbs over the top of the noodle mixture.
Cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until very hot.
