TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE WITH CREAM CHEESE RECIPE - (4/5)



Tuna Noodle Casserole with Cream Cheese Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by calypan

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 can(s) mushroom pieces
2 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green pepper, diced
1 , 12 oz. pkg egg noodles, no-yolk variety (i use large)
1/4 c butter
1/4 c all purpose flour
2 1/2 c milk
1 pkg 8 oz. cream cheese
2 can(s) tuna, packed in water
1 can(s) small can peas, drained
salt and pepper to taste
1 c grated sharpe cheese
french onions to sprinkle on top of casserole

Steps:

  • 1. Sauté mushrooms, garlic, onion and green peppers in fry pan. Put aside. Cook the 12 oz. large bag of noodles in salted water; drain. 2. Melt butter in large fry pan and blend in flour. blend together. Add milk slowly, cooking and stirring constantly. When sauce is thick and smooth, blend in cream cheese. Then add cooked noodles, and lastly the whole can of tuna with water, peas, peppers, onion and mushrooms combination. Season with salt and pepper to taste; pour into a large 9 x 12 greased baking dish. top with sharp cheese and then sprinkle French onions or breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese on top. 3. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Note: Make sure noodles are done before making sauce. The sauce gets too thick if it sits while waiting for noodles to cook. Make sure the sauce is really creamy before baking, if not it will be too dry when it is baked. To make sauce more creamy, add more milk to give it a good consistency. I like this recipe because it is made with cream cheese instead of cream of mushroom soup

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh tuna and clams, real butter, and sharp cheddar cheese will make a big difference.
  • For a creamier casserole, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the onion and celery by hand.
  • Be careful not to overcook the casserole. The fish and clams should be cooked through, but not dry.
  • Serve the casserole hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

This 4-cheese tuna clam casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you are a fan of tuna casserole or clam chowder, you're sure to love this unique and tasty combination.
