SHEET PAN TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE
When you bake tuna noodle casserole on a sheet tray, you get the best of both worlds: a creamy, cheesy filling and a crispy, crunchy top. We used a combination of crushed butter crackers and panko breadcrumbs for a perfectly toasted topping. We also nixed the canned condensed soup and made a flavorful cheese sauce from scratch, giving you the ultimate comfort-food dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and season generously with salt. Add the noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until just al dente according to package directions, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain well. Set the noodles aside and return the pot to medium-high heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and starting to brown in spots, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the half-and-half, cream cheese and reserved pasta water, then continue to cook until smooth and slightly thickened, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to low, then whisk in the Cheddar, Dijon, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the reserved cooked noodles, tuna and peas until evenly combined (the mixture should be saucy; it will thicken as it bakes). Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Mix the crushed butter crackers, panko and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium bowl until well combined, then sprinkle evenly over the tuna-noodle mixture. Bake until the topping is well browned and the sauce is bubbling at the edges, about 10 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles to al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mixture and stir so that the flour coats the onions and mushrooms thoroughly. Cook, stirring, for another minute. Add the milk and sherry and whisk to combine. Cook the sauce until it's nice and thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste and stir. Adjust the seasoning to make sure the sauce is adequately salted.
- Add the tuna and stir it into the sauce. Then stir in the bell pepper and 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Stir in the noodles until they're coated. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and transfer the noodle mixture to the dish.
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a bowl in the microwave; stir it around with the breadcrumbs and remaining tablespoon of parsley.
- Top the casserole with the breadcrumbs and bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve piping hot with a green salad and warm crusty bread.
