My 7 YO DS said "Momma, you KNOW I don't like tuna"...as he cleaned his plate! The mushrooms and homemade sauce that was free of canned soup is what sold me on this recipe. I knew it would be a winner and it absolutely was! Thanks for a tuna dish that I can make KNOWING my kids will eat it!

This recipe was a bit time intensive for a tuna noodle casserole, but quite good. I used Dubliner cheese but otherwise made exactly as shown. It has the most complex flavor of any tuna noodle casserole I've had and if I were to ever serve tuna noodle casserole to guests, this would be the one!
