Tuna Casserole - the Easy Way
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can mushrooms (optional)
- 1 (16 ounce) package shell pasta
- milk (see directions)
- black pepper (to taste)
- garlic salt (because I put garlic in everything)
- potato chips (optional)
directions
- Cook pasta as directed then drain.
- Drain tuna then add the tuna, soup and mushrooms, stir.
- Add milk to desired consistency (anywhere from 1/2 to 1 cup).
- Add seasonings to taste.
- I add a bit of salt but not too much as I love salt and would tend to add too much. I'd rather the "diner" add their own salt & pepper to taste.
- Let simmer 5-10 minutes stirring occasionally.
- I like to serve with a small amount of crushed potato chips on top, just adds a nice crunch to the meal.
- (Others have suggested adding peas or carrots--it's all up to you).

You are right, this doesn't look like it would taste that good but I have enjoyed your other recipes (I love garlic too) so I thought I would try this one and it was very good. I liked this because I had everything already except I used egg noodles (flat noodles) because I didn't have the other kind. I almost didn't put chips on top but I'm glad I did. I always have a lot of tuna so I will be sure to make this again. Thank you.

Would you believe this is the first time I have ever made Tuna Casserole? I can now see what the attraction is to pantry-based cooking. I had no peas, but had frozen spinach -- what the heck! It tasted great, it was easy, and it tasted even better cold the next day. My only regret really was that I had no potato chips to crumble on top, because even though it sounds wierd I know it would work!

Simple, fast and tasty is my rating for this recipe. Oh sure, you could doctor this recipe up for adults, but I needed something fast that the kids would eat. You could add green peppers, oinons and peas for adults, but then the kids would not eat it. I added 1/2 soup can of milk and I thought it could have used maybe 1/4 can more. The only thing I'd change on this KID FRIENDLY recipe would be the addition of 1 cup frozen peas. Thanks Risë, this is a keeper.
