Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your casserole. Choose ripe vegetables, a good quality tuna, and a flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked noodles will make the casserole mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add any vegetables you like to this casserole. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and peas.
  • Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to the casserole. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Top the casserole with cheese: A layer of cheese on top of the casserole will help to brown it and make it extra cheesy and delicious.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: This usually takes about 30 minutes. If you are using a glass baking dish, you may need to bake the casserole for a few minutes longer.
