Great! I cooked fresh mushrooms,onion topped off with canned corn. Some pasta was left out. Used cream of chicken soup. Very versatile! I made it the original way too and it was very good. It’s a hit.
Easy and quick to make and most of all, very tasty!
It was good and simple. It is a good starter to when making tuna casserole, and can be very customizing to your taste! I added mayo at the cause it needed at bit more flavour but I like it!
I used cream of chicken instead of cream of mushroom
A little dry, so I mixed in an extra cup of cheese, an extra can of cream of mushroom soup, an extra can of veggies, and hooked it up with lemon pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dill, and smoky spice mix.
This is really good. As the other reviews suggested i agree 2 cans of tuna are needed. I only used 1 can of soup, then added some milk and butter. At the end I sprinkled some breadcrumbs in top and after baking for about 20 minutes. I broiled for a little crunch top. Delicious!
Super easy, taste was exactly what I was looking for. Will make again.
This recipe tasted pretty good and when following the recipe almost exactly, it wasn’t a lot of cooking, mostly just mixing together. Even the baking part only took five minutes for my toaster oven. My brother and mom really liked it. However, I plan to add more tuna next time, probably double the original amount since the tuna was almost nonexistent. I’ll also probably add salt because it was a little bland. Overall, the recipe as is was really good, it can be even better though!
Delicious! Thanks so much for posting your recipe! I had to make due with what I had in the house, so I used 2 cans of tuna, elbows, 4-cheese Mexican shredded, a Cauliflower medley instead of the mixed veggies, and added French fried onions. Still came out terrific.
So I gave this 3 stars because tuna casserole is great but in following this recipe, I wonder why you can’t simply mix all ingredients in a bowl and bake as usual. The extra stove-top pan seems like a waste of dishes to me. Thanks anyway.
I do a lot of different adjustments to my tuna casserole. I make mine very similar to if I am making homemade mac and cheese pie. I start with making a roux (butter and flour paste) then I add milk to the paste. I let that simmer for a bit, then I add a few cups of cheddar cheese to the liquid mixture to make a cheese sauce, then I put it aside. In the meanwhile, I’d be boiling my noodles; I usually use Farfalle noodles (bow-tie). In terms of the tuna, I always fry my tuna before putting the casserole together. While frying, I add onions, garlic, paprika, a bit of cayenne and black pepper to the tuna. Then, I get my casserole dish, pour in the noodles, then the cheese sauce, and finally fold in my fried tuna. I sometimes add green peas for a fresh taste. I add grated cheddar cheese on top, and baking for 40 minutes. I wouldn’t ever do it in any other way. So delicious. This recipe was at best a nice effort.
I made this and it was delicious, the only thing I did different was use bow tie pasta, and just peas instead of mixed veggies.
So easy to prepare and make. We love this tuna casserole – it has been put in our dinner menu rotation.
l made it with what I had on hand and we loved it! Used a 13 oz box of penne wheat pasta, 1 can cream of mushroom and 1 can cream of mushroom with roasted garlic because that’s all I had. I mixed in 1 mini block of Velveeta with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar and used a 12 oz bag of frozen mixed veggies (corn, carrots, peas and green beans). Spread more shredded cheddar on top before baking. Start to finish in one pan and in an hour. Delicious!!!
I tweeked it a bit but a great recipe
I added fresh mushrooms
I make this often however, not with oil. You can add salt to the water, just a little, to prevent sticking. If you must use oil, use coconut. Far better for health. I add celery, corn, peas, and sometimes chopped up carrots. Load it with cheese on top. Kids love it!
Yummmmm! Right amount of tuna. Threw some French fried onions on top. Will make again.
Easy Cheesy Tuna Casserole Haiku: “Way too much pasta. Tuna gets lost in all that. Flavor’s a yawn too.” I love a good comforting tuna casserole, but this one was so heavy on the pasta-to-tuna ratio that it felt like all pasta. I used frozen mixed veggies instead of canned, but that was my only change. I’d do that (along w/ reducing pasta, increasing tuna and adding sauteed onion, garlic, and more spices) if I made this again.
This was easy to follow and really good. I substituted the mushroom soup for French Onion soup just because my family is not a mushroom fan. Over all this recipe gave me inspiration
I added another can of mushroom soup, tuna and also through in a can of french style green beans. It looked like a lot of noodles and no veggies or soup. Of course, i had to plus up the amount of cheddar as well. It is awesome!
