Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
4 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
4 tablespoons salted butter, divided
5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 small white onion, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 ½ cups chicken stock

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups shredded white Cheddar cheese
1 cup frozen sweet peas
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained
1 cup panko bread crumbs
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add egg noodles and 3 teaspoons salt to the boiling water; cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 6 minutes. Drain noodles. Return to pot and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until mushrooms are softened and onions are translucent, about 4 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in vegetable oil.
  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Be sure not to overcook the noodles, or they will become mushy.
  • Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to bind the casserole together and make it more flavorful.
  • Add some vegetables. Vegetables will help to add flavor and texture to the casserole. Some good options include peas, carrots, and celery.
  • Top the casserole with cheese. Cheese will help to brown the top of the casserole and make it more flavorful.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot. The casserole should be baked for at least 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.

Conclusion:

Tuna noodle casserole is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. By following these tips, you can make a tuna noodle casserole that is creamy, delicious, and sure to please everyone at the table.
