I would have given this 5 stars except for the fact that in my mind it really needed some serious adjustments to make it more balanced in terms of fats/carbs/proteins. I made the following modifications: 1/4 C mayo and 1/4 C 2% greek yogurt (instead of 1/2 cup mayo); only 1.5 cups of cheese instead of 2.5 (1 cup in the casserole and .5 on top);4 cups of egg noodles instead of 3; 16 ounces tuna (4 5oz cans which yield 4 oz each of tuna); 7 oz of evaporated milk instead of 5 (I felt I needed a bit more liquid because of the additional egg noodles and tuna). Other than that I followed the recipe and ended up with a recipe that was very tasty and makes 8 servings each with 18 grams of fat/27 grams of carbs/ 28 grams of protein. This adjusted recipe will be a regular in our house.

I can't believe how something so simple can be so delicious. :) I made this a few weeks ago, and my husband and I loved it. I did make a few changes, due to what I had on hand: I used a package of onion soup mix in place of the onion, and omitted the celery (and the butter to saute it in). Such a change from the bland stuff I was raised on!
