Categories     Casseroles

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c elbow macaroni, cooked al dente (3 minute type cook works great!)
2 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1/4 c milk
2 can(s) tuna, packed in water, drained and flaked
1 c frozen green peas
2 c cheddar cheese, cubed small
salt, pepper, chopped onion to taste (optional)
CRISPY TOPPING
1 1/2 c crushed corn flakes
1/4 stick butter

Steps:

  • 1. Cook noodles to al dente per directions on box. Drain and put in medium mixing bowl. Add all other ingredients, and mix until evenly blended.
  • 2. Pour into 2 quart lightly greased casserole dish. Melt butter and mix with corn flakes, spread evenly over top of casserole mix.
  • 3. Bake at 350-375 for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown, bubbly and hot throughout.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh tuna, flavorful cheese, and creamy sauce make all the difference in this casserole. Don't skimp on the ingredients!
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, creates a rich and flavorful sauce. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses to find your favorite combination.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the tuna and noodles without being too runny. If the sauce is too thin, add a little more flour or cornstarch.
  • Don't be afraid to add your own touch: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or seasonings. Some popular additions include chopped vegetables, herbs, or spices.

Conclusion:

Cheesy tuna casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages.
