Best Tuna Casserole

This is my second time making this from this recipe; the first time garnered 3 stars simply because, while comforting, it was very bland. This go round I switched things up as follows and I enjoyed it better. I replaced one can of the mushroom soup with cream of celery soup; used a whole can of mushroom pieces and stems; switched the tuna to albacore plus a pouch of lemon pepper tuna; used dried onion because I had it on hand; substituted panko breadcrumbs for the chips; and added a few grinds of timut pepper for the citrusy zing and light szechuan “buzz” – I’m on the fence on that addition. This recipe is a great base for a comforting dish that allows for easy twists!

Very easy and fast to make:) Delicious!!!! My favorite go to

Came out dry. Cheese on top was crusty. Not bubbly family was disappointed.

Followed exact recipe and my family did not care for it at all. The best word I know to describe the taste is weird and dry. I have a few tuna cass recipes that we do like, but always willing to try someone else’s take. I had to toss this and make sandwiches.

Love this recipe, however I did some things different. My family loves this dish even though they claim they don’t like tuna! I sautéed the mushrooms, onions and garlic in butter until the onions were soft and seasoned with salt, pepper and season salt. I also cooked my vegetables and seasoned them as well. When I first made this, I didn’t have any lays potato chips so I used ritz crackers and it was so good that I didn’t even try the chips. I also added some milk to the edges to prevent dryness.

Way too dry would had milk or water. Was very tasty. Will definitely try it again with modifications

Delicious and great flavor, moist and crunchy topping! Will make again.

Excellent recipe. Made this tonight and the family loved it. My 4yo is picky about food and she loved it!

I made sure I read most of the comments. I had to make a huge pot. I have a big family, plus, kids friends. I used 2 big cans of cream of mushroom soup. 2 cups of milk, 3 cups of mushrooms, 1 1/2 cup of sour cream, 2 large cans of tuna. I mixed all together plus 2 cups of cheese. On the top I smothered it with cheese and chips. I thought I made a big enough dish to have left overs. I think all the boys liked the pan. Lol. I only drained 2 of the 3 cans of sweet peas. I used the juice from one can.

It was ok. I made it as directed but it was a little dry so I ended up having to add another can of soup. I think it would have been better with a half cup of sour cream, 3 cans of soup, and maybe a splash of milk.

So yummy! I modified based on the below comments: I sauteed a whole onion (with a little salt) and handful of fresh mushrooms in large dutch oven, added soup, three cans of tuna, peas, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp seasoning salt, pinch + of hot chilis, cheese, blanched broccoli, noodles (with some pasta water) and topped with crushed cheddar & sour cream ruffles (all I had on hand). Delicious!!!

This recipe is quite yummy! It is a keeper! The only thing I did different was I omitted the mushrooms and the potato chips. I added one quarter cup of milk per half batch. And I mixed in 1/4 cup of bread crumbs with the 1/2 cup shredded cheese for the topping per half batch. Also, I used a whole can of peas per half batch.

The only changes I made were adding some olive oil to my 9oz can of tuna, 1/2cup of milk , doubling the peas and adding garlic salt. My husband really did not like tuna noodle casserole in the past but really liked this one!

Best tuna casserole I’ve ever had and certainly the best I’ve ever made myself!

Really tasty!!!

Delicious ! How I modified: sautéed onion and fresh mushrooms, garlic in large dutch oven. Added tuna, soup, cheese, peas and large egg noodles. Let a teeny bit of pasta water drip in. (Used shredded cheddar cheese with melty Philly in it) Topped with cheese and French friend onions. Not dry, was absolutely delicious ! Will make again with chicken for friends that don’t like tuna.

I halved the recipe for just the two of us, omitted the peas (he hates peas), added about a 1/4 milk to give a bit more moisture and creaminess, and didn’t use as much cheese. Would have liked to have had more tuna so next time may use the two cans even in the half recipe.

My son loves it! I used French’s fried onions and some garlic salt and parsley. I also added half can milk since most complained of dryness. I halved the recipe since it was for my son only. Definitely a keeper. Will make this often.

Made as written. We both thought it was very good. I used tuna in olive oil, only draining the few drops of excess oil. (Did not try to drain thoroughly, as I would with water-packed tuna.) It was not at all dry, as some reviewers experienced, and I would guess the oil in the tuna is what made the difference. Nor was it bland. Used extra-sharp cheddar in the mix, and medium cheddar on top. I didn’t add any salt or anything not specified in the recipe. I’d recommend making it as written (and using tuna in oil) before tweaking. I would make this again.

I added 1/2 C of whole milk And 1/2 C diced celery

DELISH!! So easy to make with ingredients that are staples in most homes!! Great flavor, only change I made was did not have chips in the house so used Italian bread crumbs!! It came out great!!
