Creamy Tuna Casserole

I read all the available reviews before I made out my grocery list. I added mushrooms, cheese, the golden mushroom soup along with cream of mushroom and the rest of the recipe. Thanks for the suggestions! I doubled the ingredients to freeze some and give some away. We enjoyed everything about this recipe and it was so easy to make. There are only two of us to feed so this went a long way! Hubby asked to take in his lunch tomorrow too.

Good

I hadn't made tuna casserole in years. My teenage daughter had never had tuna casserole and I wasn't sure if she would eat it but she did. The recipe was good but next time I will add a can of peas as this was what I put in my very first tuna casserole. I also used cream of chicken soup as we do not like mushrooms.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

I've always made my own version of this, but I actually never thought of sauteing celery and onions, but always used mixed veggies of some sort. What a difference this is to what we're used to! Soon I will make a large dish of this and add BOTH the mixed veggies and the celery/onions. Also, using evaporated milk in place of regular milk adds additional richness of flavor. The only change I made was to use whole grain noodles, which adds more fiber but doesn't change the taste.

Creamy tuna noodle casserole

Very good and healthy. You can substitute 1 can of cream of celery soup with 1 can of cream of mushroom soup together for the 2 cans and add 1 package frozen peas to add volume.
