CHEESE TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Boil pasta in lightly salted water for 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain well. Return the pasta to the pot it was cooked in.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Mix tuna with cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic in a medium saucepan. Place pan over medium low heat, and heat through. Alternatively, place these ingredients in a microwave safe dish, and warm in the microwave.
• Mix tuna mixture with pasta. Spread 1/2 of the noodles into the prepared dish. Arrange the cheese slices over the noodles, then spread the remaining noodle mixture over the cheese. Top with crushed potato chips.
• Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes; cook until the casserole is hot, and the chips begin to brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly spray an 8 x 8 baking dish. If you have doubled the recipe, spray a 9 x 13’baking dish, set aside.
• If you are adding onion to the dish, dice the onions and lightly sauté them in a non-stick pan with a little bit of olive oil or butter until they are translucent and then set aside.
• Salt the water and bring it to a boil in a large pot. Prepare the noodles according to the directions on the bag or the box. BUT make sure to cook just until they are al dente (NO LONGER). Then drain. DO NOT RINSE.
• While the pasta is cooking, in a large bowl, add in the milk, and cream of mushroom soup and combine together thoroughly. Add in the cooked egg noodles, the drained albacore tuna, the onions, and the frozen peas and the salt and pepper. Stir all of the ingredients together and make sure the noodles are completely coated.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the cheese all over the top of the casserole then sprinkle on the potato chips.
• Place the dish into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and hot inside. Turn the oven to broil (low) and let the top become golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool briefly before serving.
• Enjoy!
