CREAMY TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE
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.

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)
