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.

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.
