Tuna Noodle Casserole w/ Cheese Crumb Topping image

I've played with Tuna Casserole since I can remember..taking what I know from my Mother's classic version with the Potato chip topping and making it my own. This is what I came up with! My Fiance isn't a huge Tuna Noodle Casserole lover, but he loves this one! ***Disclaimer - 99% of the dishes represented by the photographs...

Categories     Soups

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 oz bag wide egg noodles
SAUCE
1 1/2 c milk
2 can(s) condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 can(s) well drained tuna (3 oz)
1 c thinly sliced mushrooms
1 c frozen peas
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
CRUMB TOPPING
1 1/2 c plain bread crumbs
1 c shredded cheddar
1/4 c melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 Fill dutch oven with water up to about 1 in from the top for your noodles. Bring water to boil. While waiting for water to boil begin working on your sauce and topping. In a medium bowl, combine all Sauce ingredients. Consistency of soup should be creamy, but not extremely thick. Set aside. Add your noodles to the boiling water and boil at a rolling boil for about 6 minutes. In another medium bowl, add plain bread crumbs and cheese. Melt butter in microwave until it is completely liquified. Using a fork, mix melted butter into crumb/cheese mixture. Mix until the mixture becomes slightly moist. Ditch the fork and go hands in! Make sure the butter is distributed evenly through the crumb mix. Remember..it should still appear somewhat dry. You should still be able to sprinkle it on with your fingers. Drain noodles..and return back to dutch oven. Pour Sauce mixture over noodles and mix together. If it appears too thick, you can add a tbsp of milk at a time to give it a little bit more moisture. Add noodles/sauce to 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle cheese crumb on until noodles are completely covered with a thin layer. Put in oven for about 10 minutes until cheese crumb is golden brown. Don't cook for more than 15 minutes..you don't want your casserole to become dry! This dish can be modified with Reduced fat Soup, Reduced fat cheese and Light Tuna. Other variations I've used for toppings include Panko/Cheese Crumb, and the old fashioned Crumbled potato chips on top. This is my favorite though! Enjoy!

TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE WITH POTATO CHIP TOPPING RECIPE - (4/5)



Tuna Noodle Casserole with Potato Chip Topping Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by peridot728

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 medium onion, finely chopped
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup chicken broth
8 ounces medium pasta shells (about 3 cups)
One 6-ounce jar Italian tuna in olive oil, drained and flaked
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 cups grated sharp white Cheddar
1 1/2 cups crumbled flavored potato chips, such as salt-and-vinegar, onion or jalapeno

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms release their liquid and turn golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook, whisking, about 1 minute. Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly, then whisk in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and stir it into the mushroom mixture. Add the tuna and parsley and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and add 1 cup of the Cheddar. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup Cheddar on top and then cover with the potato chip crumbs. Bake until bubbling and golden brown on top, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a large casserole dish to ensure that the casserole cooks evenly and does not overflow.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but drain it one minute before the recommended time to prevent it from becoming overcooked.
  • Shred the cheddar cheese finely to ensure that it melts evenly throughout the casserole.
  • For a crispier topping, use regular potato chips instead of crushed potato chips.
  • If you are using canned tuna, drain it thoroughly to prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
  • You can use a variety of different vegetables in this casserole, such as peas, carrots, or corn.
  • To save time, you can use a pre-made cream of celery soup.
  • Serve the casserole immediately after it is baked to ensure that the topping is crispy.

Conclusion:

This tuna noodle casserole with potato chip topping is a comforting and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its creamy sauce, tender noodles, and crispy potato chip topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
