This was very good but for me it needed more liquid and tuna.

This is a fabulous "tuna hotdish" recipe. It was SO easy, and tasty too. I used egg noodles because I had some to use up, and omitted the celery for my husbands preference (I would have loved the celery... :) ) It was perfectly cheesy and tuna-y. I actually used 15 oz. of tuna because I had 5 oz. cans. This is definitely a keeper in my book! Even my husband really liked it, and he hates pasta and casserole type dishes. Thanks so much for posting. Made for Theirs, Yours, & Mine Photo Tag.
