Tuna Casserole?

[Heather LB.]

I really love tuna casserole, but it's been awhile since I have made it and I don't even remember how to do it now. Does anyone have a good recipe for it?

I guess it depends on how you like your casserole. I like the very basic tuna casserole that my mom made when I was younger. I just use a 12 oz package of egg noodles, a can or 2 of cream of mushroom soup, 2 cups of frozen peas ( or 1 can of drained peas ) , 2 cans of drained tuna ( I have also used chicken because my hubby does not really like tuna ), a bag of shredded cheddar cheese ( cojack is good too ), and salt and pepper to taste.

Boil the noodles and drain. Mix everything else up with the noodles, top with the cheese and bake at 350 until the cheese is melted.

This is how I make mine too, except I put a layer of regular Ruffles (potato chips) on the top, then the cheese on top of that. We like it because it gives it a crunch!

I do a box of mac and cheese, a can of peas (drained), 2 cans of tuna and 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup. Cook mac and cheese to directions, and mix everything together. Thats the recipe my mom used when I was little and I love it!

This. Keep in mind though, you can make little changes to. I tend to play around with stuff like this. You can use things other than mushroom soup, and you can add some diff veggies too. Dh likes it with peas carrots and brocolli
