He-man's Tuna Noodle Casserole

Submitted by Jaymee

"The best comfort food of all time. Be careful, you might just lick your plate!! I first had this in the hospital after my first son was born and spent months looking for the recipe. It is nothing like the tuna casserole I got as a kid! The red bell pepper and Ritz are vital so please don't substitute."

Followed directions except added approximately two cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the mix. Without the cheese, I'm afraid we would've found it a bit too bland. With the cheese, everyone enjoyed it very much and it is something I would make again. You are right, Jaymee this is great comfort food!
