TUNA NOODLE WIGGLE
My boys love this dish so I always make a double batch for leftovers. It is so creamy and flavorful and I sneak in a lot of veggies and they eat it up! It is one of the few dishes I actually use a canned soup. It is one of the first dishes I made when I was just learning and I haven't changed the recipe that much. Enjoy, Thanks...

Tips:
- Choose the right tuna: Canned tuna is the most commonly used type of tuna for tuna fish wiggle. Look for tuna that is packed in oil or water, and avoid tuna that is packed in brine. Tuna packed in oil will give the wiggle a richer flavor, while tuna packed in water will be a healthier option.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will add color, flavor, and crunch to your tuna fish wiggle. Use a variety of vegetables, such as celery, onion, carrots, and bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish and can easily be overcooked. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough. Cook the tuna just until it is cooked through, which will only take a few minutes.
- Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is a key ingredient in tuna fish wiggle, but it's important to use it sparingly. Too much mayonnaise will make the wiggle heavy and greasy.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squirt of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
