My family was not fond of tuna casseroles until I found this recipe. Not sure where it came from, but I've been making it for years. I think it's the cheese!

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 -2 tablespoon butter (optional)
1/2 cup chopped onion (frozen ones are fine)
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (6 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can albacore tuna, drained
1 (3 ounce) can sliced mushrooms (optional)
1/4 cup chopped ripe black olives
2 tablespoons parsley (to taste)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika (to taste)
12 -16 ounces extra wide egg noodles, cooked & drained (or any kind of pasta)
French fried onion rings (another option is to use crushed potato chips)

Steps:

  • Cook noodles according to package directions (I find that 12 minutes is perfect, especially when using them in a casserole where there will be additional cooking).
  • While the noodles are cooking, heat butter in medium frying pan and cook onions until tender but not brown.
  • (Butter gives the recipe more taste but a non-stick spray can be used in place of butter. I don't recommend margarine- it doesn't melt properly.).
  • Add soup, milk and cheese; heat and stir.
  • Add tuna, mushrooms, olives, parsley and lemon juice.
  • Stir well and heat through.
  • Stir 1/2 of the cooked noodles into the tuna mixture. Mix well. Add more or all of the noodles as desired (the more noodles, the thicker the casserole consistency).
  • Pour mixture into 2 qt casserole dish.
  • (If doubling the recipe, use a 9"x13" pan.).
  • Sprinkle top with remaining Parmesan cheese and the paprika.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • (Watch that noodles don't burn-- may need to cook only 20 minutes depending on your oven).
  • Before removing from oven, sprinkle top with onion rings and bake an additional 5 minutes.
  • Watch that the onion rings don't burn.

CASSEROLE ITALIANO



Casserole Italiano image

This is a quick and easy casserole with enough flavor to please the adults and bland enough for the children to eat. I always cook half and freeze the other half for later. It makes an easy one dish meal with a bag of salad to bring a new mom or a family in need a dinner in a jiffy. It is also one of those meals that I usually have all the ingredients in the pantry already. If your looking for easy this is it.
