KITTENCAL'S EASY TUNA OR CHICKEN NOODLE CASSEROLE



Kittencal's Easy Tuna or Chicken Noodle Casserole image

This is a delicious casserole that can be made using either tuna or 1-1/2 cups or more of cooked cubed chicken or even cooked turkey --- for a thinner sauce use 1 cup of milk or half and half instead of 3/4 cup, prep time includes boiling the egg noodles, if you are not a garlic-lover then you may omit the garlic powder and to zing the flavor up even more add in 1-1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice

Categories     Tuna

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces spaghetti, pieces (I usually just use a large handful of spaghetti, use the regular not thin or angel hair)
1/4 cup butter (can use a little more butter when frying)
1/2 lb fresh sliced mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional or adjust to taste)
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 -4 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder (I just use 1 small package OXO bouillon powder)
2 cups good-quality chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half cream (or use 18% table cream)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (or use 1-1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese)
salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste, I use seasoned salt)
2 (170 g) cans tuna (drained and hand-squeezed to remove any moisture)
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 egg yolks
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional or to taste)

Steps:

  • Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  • Chop the spaghetti coarsely. (I usually chop about 4-inches but it does not have to be exact).
  • Cook the spaghetti until firm-tender (do not overcook the pasta!) drain and toss with 1-2 tablespoons butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a saucepan melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat (can use a couple tablespoons more butter if desired, I always do!) add in the sliced mushrooms and cook stirring until they release their moisture (about 6 minutes).
  • Add in onion, garlic and cayenne pepper; sauté for about 3 minutes.
  • Add in flour and chicken bouillon powder; mix with a wooden spoon for about 1-2 minutes (the mixture will be slightly "clumpy").
  • Stir in the broth and cream; bring to a light boil over medium heat whisking continuously until smooth and thickened.
  • Turn off heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese (or cheddar cheese if using) mix to combine until melted.
  • Season sauce with salt and black pepper (I use seasoned salt).
  • Add the cooked cream mixture to the cooked spaghetti; toss well to combine, then add in the tuna, green bell pepper and egg yolks; mix very well to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to a prepared baking dish.
  • Top with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350°F oven (oven rack set to second-lowest position).
  • If desired you may sprinkle about 1 cup (or more) grated cheddar cheese on top after baking but that is only optional.
  • DELICIOUS!

MUELLER'S TUNA CASSEROLE



Mueller's Tuna Casserole image

I clipped this off a bag of egg noodles years ago. I panicked one time when I couldn't find the clipping and tore my cookbook cabinet apart. Looked on Zaar and couldn't find it. So I am putting it on here for safe keeping :) I don't always use the potato chips, but have also used "flavored" ones sometimes. Nothing fancy, just good old comfort food.

Tips:
