Ivy's Totally Awesome Tuna Casserole

My Prep & Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:
1 package of no yolk noodles
1 large can of chunked tuna in water
1 large bag of shredded cheese
1 package of frozen peas
1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup
ranch dressing mustard, pepper and salt for flavoring

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. half the package of noodles according to package directions and drain
3. Place half the package of peas with 2 tablespoons of butter in microwave and cook for approximately 3 minutes or until completely thawed--then drain peas
4. Drain water from tuna and pour tuna into a large mixing bowl.  Add cream of mushroom soup, thawed peas, drained noodles, 1 or 2 hand fulls of shredded cheese (Yes, I said hand fulls, measuring isn't my style),  add about 4-5 teaspoons of ranch dressing and 4-5 teaspoons of mustard (or do like I do and just squirt some in the bowl until it looks good), a dash of salt and finally a dash of pepper.
5. Mix ingredients lightly and then pour or scrape a layer of the mixture into a greased pan or dish.-Use about half of the bowl.
7. Spread a layer of shredded cheese on top of the mixture and then add the rest of the contents of the bowl on top of the cheese.
8. Finally, top the entire monstrosity with as much cheese as you desire and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until slightly brown on top.
