Old Fashioned Tuna-Potato Chip Casserole

Submitted by Country Cook in Okl

"This recipe was popular in the 60's. It was one of the first tuna casserole's and is still a great comfort food today. Easy to make and has all the things that are usually on hand. This can also be made with the same size can of chicken. Sometimes I add mushrooms and english peas."

My whole family loved this. We don't eat tuna casserole often so I was nervous about serving it. However there were no leftovers. I used lemon noodles which complemented the tuna perfectly.

This is just like I remember growing up with. What I found that even made it better was using cream of mushroom soup with garlic. So good!!

I put the chips on afterwards so they don’t get sofgy if there are left overs

My husband ask me to make a tuna casserole like his mom’s, with potato chips. I used this recipe substituting cream of chicken soup with herbs (not a mushroom fan) and barbecue potato chips, at his request. He loved it and even went back for thirds!
