Classic Tuna Noodle Casserole Ingredients

1 package Extra Wide Egg Noodles	1 can (16 oz) Tuna drained
2/3 cup Frozen Peas optional	1 can (12 oz) Mushrooms sliced or mushroom caps
2/3 cup Grated Cheese any combination of monterey jack, colby, cheddar	Salt and pepper to taste
1 can (12 oz) Cream of Mushroom Soup

Instructions for Classic Tuna Noodle Casserole

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Boil water in a large stockpot. Into the rapidly boiling water, cook the egg noodles for exactly 6 minutes. Rinse briefly in cold water to cool, and drain thoroughly.

Place into a large bowl, along with cream of mushroom soup, cheese, peas, tuna, and mushrooms. Mix gently but thoroughly.

(Optional) with a vegetable-oil dampened paper towel, lightly oil a casserole dish to prevent later sticking.

Bake casserole, covered, in 350-degree oven for 45-55 minutes. (Optionally, top with seasoned breadcrumbs and cook another 10 minutes uncovered.)

Not the most elegant thing you can serve, but it's a good busy weekday night family classic. While you can use virtually any kind of pasta, I think this dish works best with wide egg noodles. [I posted this recipe.]
