NO-BAKE TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE - MIDWEST
This is a take on the Tuna Noodle Casserole my mom used to bake my brother and I when we were kids. It was the first meal I ever cooked for myself (when I was in college). Being lazy, impatient and hungry, I figured why bake it? The cheese must be extra sharp...mild or sharp just don't cut it. This recipe is so easily adaptable. Really like tuna? Use a bigger can. Don't like tuna? Use shredded chicken. Have broccoli you need to use? Use broccoli. It's definitely not low-cal, but it is quick and tasty comfort food!

Steps:
- Cook noodles for approximately 10 minutes in salted water and drain when finished-- while noodle are cooking --.
- In large pot (enough to hold the sauce and cooked noodles) sauté mushrooms for 3 or 4 minutes, add onion and sauté for another minute or two. It's nice to have a little crunch left in the onions. Drain any liquid.
- Add cream of mushroom soup to pot. As soon as it is hot, add shredded cheddar cheese. Continuously stir. When cheese is melted, add tuna and celery. (I don't cook the celery, only because I like the crunch of the raw celery). Mix well. When mixture is heated through and cheese is completely melted, take off of burner.
- Drain noodles and add to mixture. I always add the noodles to the mixture (not the other way around), so that if I made too many noodles I don't add them all to the sauce. Stir all ingredients together. Salt and pepper to taste.
- * You can make this a one-pot dish if you cook and drain noodles first. Then use the same pot to cook the sauce. It will obviously add about ten minutes to the cooking time.

EASY CREAMY NO BAKE TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right tuna. Canned flaked tuna is the most common type of tuna used in tuna casserole, but you can also use canned solid white tuna or canned chunk light tuna. If you're using canned tuna, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the casserole.
- Use a variety of vegetables. Frozen or fresh vegetables can be used in tuna casserole. Some popular choices include peas, corn, carrots, and celery.
- Don't overcook the casserole. Tuna casserole is best when it's cooked just until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened. Overcooking can make the casserole dry and tough.
- Serve the casserole hot. Tuna casserole is best served hot out of the oven. It can be garnished with additional parsley, chives, or paprika.
Conclusion:
Tuna casserole is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its creamy sauce, flaky tuna, and tender vegetables, tuna casserole is a dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tuna casserole a try.
