Tuna Noodle Casserole

By Sinea Pies



Delicious Tuna Noodle Casserole 

Are we returning to our childhood here? My husband just asked me to make Tuna Noodle Casserole for him - days after his Peach Cobbler request. His mom made tuna noodle casserole often when he was a child. My mom, not so much... though I know she did make it. We were more into homemade mac 'n cheese at my house.  Anyhow, he had a craving!
His request was certainly an easy one. I simply had to find a recipe. You never go wrong with Campbell's so I searched for the "classic" tuna noodle casserole recipe made with cream of mushroom soup.  Googled it and, moments later, it was found.

As I looked over the recipe,  I  knew that there wouldn't be enough tuna in it to satisfy him so I added a third can of tuna plus some cheddar cheese. Then, I increased the amount of bread crumbs for the topping (It called for 2 T....definitely not enough for us)

End result? It tasted great! I was actually surprised that I liked it but I really did. Try this for your family. If they enjoy tuna, or any kind of fish, they will love it.

  2. The recipe looks good and similar to the one that I use... only I don't use a recipe I just make it up as I go along :) But I have to say... my first reaction to when you say your husband wants a particular recipe is to find the recipe and give it to him. Or direct him to the recipe books or google and tell him to find a recipe and make it himself. Guess that comes from having a very capable husband who regularly cooks in this house. We all have different relationships and I am not critising you or your relationship, just noting what my "go to" reaction was to both this posting and the one about peach cobbler.
