MAPLE CREAM CHEESE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

BAKED CORN (LIKE A CORN CASSEROLE, BUT NO CHEESE OR SOUR CREAM)
This is an amazing side dish. I often whip this up when making food for church, a sick friend or a new mom. It's one of those easy, cheap and delicious meals. I have another corn casserole dish that I also love. But, this is one of the few that doesn't require cheese, cream cheese or sour cream. I use club crackers. But, I'm sure that you could also use Ritz. It's obviously not a diet food. Yum!

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
