Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup butter, divided
1 (8 ounce) package uncooked medium egg noodles
½ medium onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
salt and pepper to taste
2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a medium baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion, celery, and garlic, and cook 5 minutes, until tender. Increase heat to medium-high, and mix in mushrooms. Continue to cook and stir 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan, and whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk, and continue cooking 5 minutes, until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tuna, peas, mushroom mixture, and cooked noodles. Transfer to the baking dish. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl, mix with bread crumbs, and sprinkle over the casserole. Top with cheese.
  • Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bubbly and lightly browned.

This tuna noodle casserole is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I always add a cup of chopped carrots and celery to the sauce. I also like to use a whole wheat noodle to make it a healthier dish.

I made this tuna noodle casserole for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! I used a can of albacore tuna instead of flaked tuna, which gave it a more delicate flavor.

This tuna noodle casserole is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt, pepper, and garlic powder to give it more flavor. I also used a can of chunk light tuna instead of flaked tuna, which gave it a nice texture.
