Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 oz wide noodles, cooked and drained
i use hodgson mills whole wheat noodles
2 can(s) (6 1/2 oz each) tuna, drained
i use 3 cans chicken of the sea
1 can(s) (4oz) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 jar(s) (4oz) chopped pimento, drained
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 can(s) cream of celery soup
2 c (8oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese - divided
3/4 c mayonnaise
1 c sliced almonds or 1/2 cup is enough
1 can(s) (15oz) cut up asparagus - drained

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot cook noodles in boiling salted water for about 6 minutes. Drain in colandar. Drain tuna, mushrooms and pimento with the noodles.
  • 2. Put soups and 1/2 of cheese in the pot and heat until cheese melts. Remove from heat and stir in mayo and almonds. Add veggies, tuna and noodles to sauce and mix well.
  • 3. Drain asparagus and layer on bottom of 11x7 casserole dish (I spray with non-stick spray). Pour on sauce and top with remining cheese. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus has a brighter flavor and crisper texture than canned or frozen asparagus.
  • Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a high-quality tuna. Canned tuna can vary in quality, so it is important to use a brand that you trust.
  • Drain the tuna well. This will help to prevent the casserole from being too watery.
  • Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole more flavorful.
  • Add vegetables to the casserole. Vegetables such as peas, carrots, and celery can add additional flavor and texture to the casserole.
  • Top the casserole with cheese. Cheese will help to brown the top of the casserole and add a cheesy flavor.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot. This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Asparagus tuna noodle casserole is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy sauce, tender-crisp asparagus, and flaky tuna, this casserole is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or family dinner.
