1 can(s) (family size) cream of mushroom soup
1 can(s) milk(just filled the can from the soup)
1 pkg cream cheese (8 oz)
1 ranch dressing ( i just added a squirt for taste its optional so as little or as much as you want .. i love it like this but you may not so its not needed and does not really effect the taste all that much)
1 c shredded cheese ( any kind will work i like colby jack in mine)
1 Tbsp butter
2 can(s) tuna fish ( i used 5 oz.. but this is another thing that is as little or as much as you want)
1 can(s) peas ( could use fresh or frozen also)
1 pkg ritz crackers
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
1/4 c parmesan cheese

Steps:

1. Boil noodles

7. pour over casserole
8. bake in oven at 350 for about 20-30 mins till nice and bubbly!

Tips:

Choose the right tuna: For the best flavor and texture, use canned tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil, as it can make the casserole greasy.
Use fresh ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices. This will give your casserole the best flavor.
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 good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this casserole, so use a good quality cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, as it doesn't melt as well.
Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You could add diced red bell pepper, chopped fresh parsley, or a dash of cayenne pepper.

Conclusion:

Tasha's Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna.
