MY SWISS CHEESE TUNA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Slice the mushrooms and dice the onions. Sauté in butter over medium heat.
• 2. Add Worcestershire sauce. I use quite a bit.
• 3. Sauté stirring frequently until done.
• 4. While the mushrooms and onions are cooking, boil the eggs and prepare the noodles as directed. Cook only to al dente firmness so they don't become mushy in the oven.
• 5. When mushrooms and onions are done, add tuna and favorite seasonings. Cook on low for a couple of minutes stirring frequently. In the same pan that you sauteed the mushrooms and onions in, add the soup and milk. Stir over low heat until smooth.
• 6. Drain noodles and return to pot. Add tuna mixture and coat the noodles well. Put eggs into an egg slicer. Cut lengthwise. Then turn again and cut. Add to noodles.
• 7. After the eggs are stirred in, add peas. Now is a good time to add more seasoning. Stir to blend ingredients.
• 8. Transfer mixture to a 9x13 baking dish.
• 9. Top with Swiss cheese slices.

• 12. Make sure you let it cool for a while. It will be lava hot!! I used to make this with Colby jack cheese and it's really good that way too!
