Steps:
- Stir soup, milk, peas, tuna and noodles in 3-quart casserole.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes or until hot. Stir.
- Mix bread crumbs with butter in bowl and sprinkle over tuna mixture. Bake for 5 minutes more.
Tips:
- Use good quality tuna: Opt for solid white albacore tuna packed in water or oil. Chunk light tuna can also be used, but it will have a less firm texture.
- Cook the noodles al dente: This means they should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and ruin the texture of the casserole.
- Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce is essential for a rich and flavorful casserole. You can use a store-bought Alfredo sauce or make your own by combining milk, cream, butter, and flour.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables such as peas, carrots, and celery add color, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. You can also use frozen vegetables for convenience.
- Top with cheese: A layer of cheese on top of the casserole will give it a golden brown crust and gooey center. Use a good melting cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
- Serve immediately: Tuna noodle casserole is best served immediately after it is baked. The noodles will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Creamy tuna noodle casserole is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. You can tailor the casserole to your liking by adding different vegetables, cheeses, and seasonings. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give creamy tuna noodle casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
