Tuna Noodle Casserole

shelleybean's Note:

When first married, I never made TNC because my husband told me he didn't like it and wouldn't eat it. After being married for several years, I came across this recipe and it was a little different from most. I told my husband I had such a taste for TNC, I was making it and he could try it or go out and get himself something else to eat. It was during winter and, needless to say, he gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. I've made this ever since. I hope your family will enjoy it as much as we do.
