No doubt about it... Tuna Noodle Casserole is a comfort food. I've chosen to post a traditional recipe for this one, as some memories from your childhood you just don't mess with. I grew up on this one, and always enjoyed it. I tried to make a substitute for the Mushroom soup numerous times, but honestly nothing quite compared. So here we go.
1/2 package of Egg Noodles already prepared. (approx 3-4 cups uncooked)
1/2 medium white onion, diced finely
2 ribs of celery, diced finely
1 cup fresh raw mushrooms
2 cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup*
1/2 can of water
1 12 oz can of Albacore Tuna drained, and broken up with a fork.
1 cup of frozen peas
1 cup of your favorite cheese, dairy or non dairy, your choice.
1 cup of Panko bread crumbs.
S&P as desired
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook noodles according to directions, minus a minute or two, as they will continue cooking a bit while in the oven. Set aside.
In large bowl, combine the onions, celery, mushrooms, tuna, peas, cream of mushroom soup, and water, stirring well. Use more or less water to get the creamy consistency desired. Once mixed add the cooked noodles stirring gently.
Pour this delicious mixture into a prepared casserole dish. Top with the cheese and then the bread crumbs. Bake covered for approx 30 min. Then remove foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown. Let cool for just a few minutes and then serve it up! Enjoy! This makes a bunch, plenty for the whole family.
If you prefer a healthier homemade version of Cream of Mushroom Soup, try my homemade version, it is delicious! It will add some prep time, but totally worth it!
This makes approx 8 servings, somewhere around 200 calories each. I honestly usually eat 2 servings of this deliciousness.
