BEST TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE
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!

TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE
This updated tuna noodle casserole recipe stays true to the classic 1950s dish, but substitutes a rich, homemade sauce for the can of cream of mushroom soup. The addition of cremini mushrooms - along with celery, onions, peas and parsley - makes this casserole surprisingly vegetable-packed, while briny capers complement the tuna and balance out the creamy sauce. Like any good tuna noodle casserole, this recipe's pièce de résistance is the potato chip topping.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9-by-13 or other 3-quart casserole dish with butter.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until just al dente. (Do not overcook.) Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the celery and onion, season with salt and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the capers and garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, until no streaks of flour remain, about 1 minute, reducing the heat as necessary to keep from scorching. Add the stock, half-and-half, sherry, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the tuna, peas and parsley, if using; season to taste.
- Add the cooked noodles and toss well. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle the crushed potato chips on top and bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Garnish with additional parsley, if using, and serve hot.

Tips:
- Choose the right tuna: Look for tuna that is packed in water or oil, and that is flaked or chunk light. Avoid tuna that is packed in brine, as it will be too salty.
- Cook the noodles properly: The noodles should be cooked according to the package directions. If they are overcooked, they will be mushy and not hold their shape.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what will really bring the tuna noodle cups together. Use a dressing that is flavorful and that you enjoy. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing are both good options.
- Add some crunch: Adding some crunch to the tuna noodle cups will help to make them more interesting and satisfying. Good options include chopped nuts, seeds, or crispy vegetables.

Tuna noodle cups are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna and vegetables.
