CREAMY NOODLE CASSEROLE



Creamy Noodle Casserole image

This is an easy and delicious casserole that can be served with just about anything. It's great for potlucks. I sometimes throw in a 4 oz can or diced green chilies or add 1/2 cup of pepper jack cheese for a little zip. Or you can add one-half of a 10 oz pkg of frozen chopped spinach, very well drained. If you use spinach, add 1/4 tsp nutmeg to cheese mixture. Added later: I tried Linda's suggestion and put the cottage cheese, sour cream, onion and garlic through the food processor first and I think it is a definite improvement on my recipe. I used tri-colored farfalle (bow ties) and added 1 c sauteed mushrooms. Best yet!

1 pkg wide egg noodles
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350.
  • 2. Make sure tuna is very well drained. Otherwise, your casserole will be slightly runny, especially if you're lucky enough to have any left-overs.
  • 3. Mix tuna, diced onions and salad dressing right in a 9x13 glass baking dish, adding salt and pepper to taste(actually the casserole dish I use is slightly bigger as my 9x13 nestles inside of it in the cabinets). The original recipe calls for 1/4 cp of salad dressing, but over the years I've discovered the end result is creamier if you add more.
  • 4. In a large saucepan, heat cream of chicken soup and milk over medium to med-high heat until well blended. Add shredded chedder cheese and continue heating, stirring frequently, until smooth and creamy. As with the salad dressing, I add more cheese than originally called for. An extra cup, to be exact.
  • 5. While soup mixture is heating, boil noodles until tender. Drain.
  • 6. Mix soup mixture with tuna mixture in casserole dish, mixing well. Add drained noodles, again, mixing well. Some people may find it easier to mix all the ingredients in a very large bowl before pouring in the baking dish. I simply like having one less bowl to wash. ;)
  • 7. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes, or until top has a little browning and casserole is bubbling. (cooking time may need to be adjusted, depending on oven)

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: For this casserole, it's best to use a short pasta such as penne, macaroni, or shells. These noodles will hold the sauce well and won't get too mushy.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: Don't overcook the noodles, or they'll become too soft and mushy. Cook them just until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a creamy sauce: The sauce for this casserole should be creamy and flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce, a cheese sauce, or even a tomato-based sauce. If you're using a cheese sauce, be sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: This casserole is a great way to sneak some vegetables into your diet. You can add any vegetables you like, such as broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, or spinach.
  • Top with a crispy topping: A crispy topping adds a nice contrast to the creamy sauce. You can use bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or even grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Creamy Noodle Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover noodles and vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy noodle casserole that your whole family will love.
