Reviews
Missing something, though followed the recipe. Too bland for me; my husband liked it fine,
Made this casserole! Will definitely make it again! next time, I think I’ll add some peas or celery, but even without them, it was so good!
Tuna Noodle Casserole iii by Marie. Changes, yes. No butter, no crumbs, sub cheese … Tried w nacho cheese soup,reserved tuna liquid & enough milk to fill soup can, 12oz tuna, 1c cheese in, 1/2c on, 1/8t cayenne.
It was easy. Didn’t want to change it up.
Didn’t have cream of mushroom soup. I used tomato soup instead.
Love this recipe! I add some peas for color and to sneak in some veggies. Didn’t have bread crumbs so I toasted a slice of sourdough bread, dark. Chopped and sprinkled. Yummy!
I’m not a very good cook, so I thought I’d try this simple recipe. It was too basic – bland and not something I’d make again.
A bit dry, needs to be cooked longer. 30 min? Pretty good otherwise.
Well received in my home. I agree with reviews that a bit more liquid (i.e. milk) would be a good idea.
I just added milk in my mushroom soup with my noodles for thicker consistency. As well as shredded cheese for my toppings.
Ok. It does need some spice such as pepper or paprika. And some liquids. Otherwise basic ingredients.
I used shredded mozzarella cheese and crushed Ritz (low sodium) for the topping.
This is the recipe my mom used to make. I add peas and onion powder for more flavor, and top with crushed corn flakes instead of bread crumbs because we like the crunch. Stirring the ingredients together over low heat for a few minutes before putting it in the casserole dish to bake will make sure the cheese melts and everything is cooked all the way through.
I added an extra can of tuna.
I love this recipe it’s one of my favorites
Very bland as is, remade with adjustments= excellent. Won’t post as it would appear my own recipe? It definitely needs onion, I always use old bay or any type seafood spice-mix with tuna, add peas, garlic to taste, never american cheese, I melt cheddar with the milk.
Maybe it would be better if you were mix things together first and use shredded cheese instead? Not making this again.
Easy ‘thrown together’ meal in under 30mins! I had 8-9 oz leftover egg noodles and added a large can of tuna (12oz/9oz drained net wt). I also added 1/3C Milk, 1/3C Sour Cream, forgot the parmesan, salted with Herbamare (Canadian vegetable/sea salt blend) and a lot of shredded cheddar cheese. It was really good! I prefer the greater tuna:noodle ratio! All three of my picky children ate it and rated it a 6-7. That’s a keeper for me!
Delicious! I I used yellowfin tuna in extra virgin olive oil and crushes potato chips mixed with some parmigiana cheese for the topping. This recipe is also great as a cold pasta salad!
My kids loved it!!!! They even asked if they can have the leftovers for dinner again, my son said that he didn’t know tuna could taste so good, my husband had seconds…. Will definitely make again. The only thing I added was a sprinkle of chili powder, garlic salt and parmesan cheese instead of bread crumbs.
I made some changes taking advice from commenters, and it was fabulous!
