Tuna casserole is made with canned tuna (or use the pouches like i do so you don't have to drain the tuna), egg noodles, canned peas, corn, canned soup, cheese, and a potato chip topping!
Recipe Summary Easy Macaroni Tuna Casserole
This dish is super easy. It is also a very hearty delicious bowl of comfort food. The guys in my house loved it. I loved this recipe but I used cream of mushroom soup and added the cheese into the casserole. I also melted butter and added bread crumbs to the top before baking, then sprinkle top lightly with dill seasoning. The resulting casserole was very creamy and flavorful.Ingredients | Classic Tuna Casserole
