BEST TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



Best Tuna Noodle Casserole image

This tuna noodle casserole is the best with a classic creamy taste from my childhood. The sauce is rich and creamy but not overwhelmingly heavy. The crunch from the topping and fresh bite from the parsley create the perfect balance. Let's not forget that this is a great budget-friendly meal to feed a crowd!

HE-MAN'S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



He-man's Tuna Noodle Casserole image

The best comfort food of all time. Be careful, you might just lick your plate!! I first had this in the hospital after my first son was born and spent months looking for the recipe. It is nothing like the tuna casserole I got as a kid! The red bell pepper and Ritz are vital so please don't substitute.

CHEF JOHN'S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



Chef John's Tuna Noodle Casserole image

I consider this the king of comfort food casseroles. What I love about this recipe, other than that it is simple and easy, is that it doesn't require the traditional can of cream of mushroom soup--but it still has the same amount of creamy, decadent goodness that every casserole should. Serve this with a green salad on the side.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup finely diced yellow onion

TUNA CASSEROLE



Tuna Casserole image

I make this for my husband, because he is the only one in our family that eats tuna casserole. I literally have to put half of it in containers and freeze it or he will eat it all in a matter of 2 days!!! I use shells instead of egg noodles. Cavatappi works well too!
