EASY CREAMY NO BAKE TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE
Tuna casserole was the first recipe I learned, but I didn't like the heavyness of 'cream of' soups. So I came up with this stove top version, with a milk based sauce its much lighter. Still creamy, delicious and full of flavor. Once you try it you won't go back.

CREAMY TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE
This dish does not have a strong 'fishy' taste, for those of you who, like my family, are not overly fond of 'fishy' dishes. This is the first dish I learned to cook after moving into my own home. (Probably because of how simple it is.) Mama gave me her recipe, one she had added her own touches to after receiving it. Over the...

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)

CREAMY TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:
- 1. Mix all ingredients. Put in a casserole dish.
- 2. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in oil or water, not brine. Avoid tuna that is flaked or shredded, as it will not hold its shape in the casserole.
- Cook the noodles al dente. This means that they should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked noodles will become mushy in the casserole.
- Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole rich and flavorful. You can use a store-bought cream of mushroom soup or make your own sauce from scratch.
- Add vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. Some good choices include peas, corn, carrots, and celery.
- Season the casserole to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
- Top the casserole with cheese. A layer of cheese on top of the casserole will help to brown it and add a delicious flavor.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Creamy tuna noodle casserole is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize it to your own taste. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a hearty dish to serve for a special occasion, creamy tuna noodle casserole is a great choice.
