Low Fat Tuna Noodle Casserole

Bergy's Note:

This is a quick, economical dish that is also easy on the waistline. Not only that, it tastes good too! You can prepare it ahead of time and add the crumbs just before popping it in the oven but allow a few minutes longer in the oven to make sure it is piping hot.

We thought this was just okay. Looking back at the recipe though it looks like I used more noodles than called for and forgot to add the salt & pepper. If I try this again, I'll be sure to add those, as well as maybe an extra can of tuna and some hot sauce. It was fun trying. Thanks for posting.

I really liked this dish! It was simple and very tasty. I didn't change a thing at all although next time I may add a couple shakes of hot sauce to spice it up a tad. I used no yolk noodles and regular mayo.
