Classic Tuna Noodle Casserole

A favorite from the 1950's. OK, it's definitely not elegant, but it's very easy comfort food that can come together from items in your pantry.

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.)

Quite simple but also slightly bland tasting, even with a bit of parmesan and french fried onions on top. Perhaps next time, I would try adding more spices and maybe a bit of sour cream for some tang.

very simple and tasty! I added 4 cloves of garlic, roughly mashed, and used 3 cans of tuna (well, it is TUNA casserole! ;-) As a topper, I sprinkled parmesan and some dried onion bits - went over wonderfully with the adults and the 12-year olds!

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.]
