EASY CREAMY NO BAKE TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



Easy Creamy No Bake Tuna Noodle Casserole image

Tuna casserole was the first recipe I learned, but I didn't like the heavyness of 'cream of' soups. So I came up with this stove top version, with a milk based sauce its much lighter. Still creamy, delicious and full of flavor. Once you try it you won't go back.

CREAMY TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole image

This dish does not have a strong 'fishy' taste, for those of you who, like my family, are not overly fond of 'fishy' dishes. This is the first dish I learned to cook after moving into my own home. (Probably because of how simple it is.) Mama gave me her recipe, one she had added her own touches to after receiving it. Over the...

Categories     Casseroles

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 can(s) tuna, well drained
1 large onion, diced
1/4-1/2 c miracle whip salad dressing
2 can(s) cream of chicken soup
3/4 can(s) milk
3 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1 pkg wide egg noodles
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350.
  • 2. Make sure tuna is very well drained. Otherwise, your casserole will be slightly runny, especially if you're lucky enough to have any left-overs.
  • 3. Mix tuna, diced onions and salad dressing right in a 9x13 glass baking dish, adding salt and pepper to taste(actually the casserole dish I use is slightly bigger as my 9x13 nestles inside of it in the cabinets). The original recipe calls for 1/4 cp of salad dressing, but over the years I've discovered the end result is creamier if you add more.
  • 4. In a large saucepan, heat cream of chicken soup and milk over medium to med-high heat until well blended. Add shredded chedder cheese and continue heating, stirring frequently, until smooth and creamy. As with the salad dressing, I add more cheese than originally called for. An extra cup, to be exact.
  • 5. While soup mixture is heating, boil noodles until tender. Drain.
  • 6. Mix soup mixture with tuna mixture in casserole dish, mixing well. Add drained noodles, again, mixing well. Some people may find it easier to mix all the ingredients in a very large bowl before pouring in the baking dish. I simply like having one less bowl to wash. ;)
  • 7. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes, or until top has a little browning and casserole is bubbling. (cooking time may need to be adjusted, depending on oven)

CREAMY TUNA NOODLE CAZUELA RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Creamy Tuna Noodle Cazuela Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces farfalle pasta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk or half-and-half
1 1/2 cups frozen baby peas
3/4 cup piquillo peppers, sliced (6 ounces)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
One 6-ounce can or jar solid white tuna in oil, drained and flaked
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup panko, Japanese bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°. Cook the farfalle pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Add the onion and cook over high heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the milk and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the farfalle pasta, frozen baby peas, sliced piquillo peppers, Parmigiano cheese and tuna and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish, a cazuela (casserole dish) or 4 individual gratin dishes. In a small skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the panko and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the panko over the casserole and bake for 10 minutes (5 minutes for individual gratins), or until bubbling. Serve right away.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This will prevent it from becoming mushy when you add it to the sauce.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to retain their鮮豔的色彩 and crispness.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and feel free to add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.

Conclusion:

Creamy tuna noodle casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its creamy sauce, tender pasta, and flavorful tuna, it's a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this creamy tuna noodle casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
