1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Cook the egg noodles at a boil until slightly firm, 7 to 9 minutes.
3

While the noodles cook, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and bell peppers in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
4

Pour the condensed soup into the saucepan. Add the tuna, milk, salt, and pepper; stir until evenly combined. Lower the heat to medium-low.
5

Drain the egg noodles thoroughly. Gently fold the noodles into the tuna mixture until coated. Transfer to a 2-quart casserole and sprinkle bread crumbs over the top.
6

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is crisp and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
