Nothing says comfort food like a hot, bubbling tuna casserole straight from the oven and my Mom's recipe is simply the best! This tuna casserole was one of my favorite dinners when growing up.

Ingredients
Casserole Ingredients
- 5 cups broad egg noodles uncooked (equal to one 340 gram bag)
- 1 cup white onion diced
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 cup frozen peas defrosted
- two 5-6 ounces cans tuna drained
- one 10 ounce can sliced mushrooms drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Sauce Ingredients
- two 10.5 ounce cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- cracked black pepper
- Salt if needed
Potato Chip Topping
- 1/2 cup crushed plain potato chips
- chopped fresh parsley to top optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Get out a 2.5 quart lidded casserole dish.
- Cook the egg noodles to "al dente" according to the directions on the package.
- Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse them under cold water to stop them from cooking more. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the onions. Fry until they are tender, around 15-20 minutes. The onions do NOT cook further in this recipe as you only heat the casserole, so make sure they are done to your liking.
- Place the sauce ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together until smooth and combined. Taste and add salt, pepper or more garlic powder to taste at this point.
- Add in the noodles, onion, peas, tuna, mushrooms and cheese. Stir together.
- Spoon the mixture into the casserole dish and place a lid on top.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, then remove the lid. Add on the potato chips and cook for another 20 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling and hot in the middle.

Notes
- Make sure you don't overcook the noodles or the casserole will be mush
