Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups dried wide egg noodles
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chopped red sweet pepper
1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 1/4 cups milk
1 12 ounce can chunk white tuna (water pack), drained and broken into chunks; two 5-ounce pouches chunk light tuna in water, drained; or two 6-ounce cans skinless, boneless salmon, drained
1 cup cubed cheddar cheese
1/2 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs) or soft bread crumbs
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1 ounce)
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a 2-quart rectangular baking dish; set aside. In a large saucepan cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Return noodles to pan. Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan heat 1/4 cup butter over medium heat until melted. Add sweet pepper, celery, and onion; cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Gently fold sauce, tuna, and cheddar cheese into cooked noodles. Transfer noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl stir together panko, Parmesan cheese, and parsley; stir in melted butter. Sprinkle crumb mixture over noodle mixture. (To serve today, omit Step 4. Continue as directed in Step 5, except bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes.) Cover baking dish with plastic wrap, then with foil. Freeze for up to 1 month. To serve, thaw in the refrigerator overnight (casserole may still be a bit icy). Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, for 65 to 75 minutes or until heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Overall, this casserole was a bit underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I was disappointed with this casserole. It didn't have much flavor and the texture was mushy.

The casserole was a bit too salty for my liking. I would recommend using less salt in the recipe.

I found this casserole to be too dry. I would suggest adding more milk or cream to the sauce.

This casserole is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some additional spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover tuna. It's also a budget-friendly meal that can easily feed a large family.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but this casserole was surprisingly good! The cheese and noodles really helped to balance out the flavor of the tuna.

This tuna noodle casserole was a hit with my family! The cheesy sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the tuna added a nice protein boost.
