Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 2 quart baking dish.
In a large heavy bottomed skillet, melt 1 T. butter over medium-high heat. Saute onions until translucent and fragrant; season with salt and pepper. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally about 2 minutes. Stir in sherry and soy sauce; cook until the most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat; set aside.
Melt remaining 4 T. butter, in large heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour; cook about 2 - 3 minutes. Slowly add the chicken broth/stock, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil; whisk in the milk. Reduce heat to a simmer; continue cooking 5 minutes.
Add mushroom mixture to the white sauce; stir in the lemon juice. Season sauce with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the drained tuna and the peas; stir just to combine. Check seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Remove from heat.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of well salted boiling water according to package directions, just until al dente. Drain; return it to the saucepan. Add the sauce, stirring gently to coat the noodles. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, toss together the grated Cheddar cheese and the bread crumbs. Drizzle with the 1 T. melted butter; toss. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
Bake until the topping is crisp and the sauce is bubbling.
