Classic Tuna Noodle Casserole

This classic tuna casserole is just like Grandma used to make. We love that this comes together with ingredients we always have on hand in the pantry and freezer.

Ingredients

Servings

For the casserole:

  • 8 ounces egg noodles dried
  • 20 ounces solid white albacore tuna drained, canned
  • 10 ounces cream of mushroom soup
  • 10 ounces cream of celery soup
  • 2 cups peas frozen
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup fried onions brand French’s
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper cracked

For the topping:

  • ½ cup cracker crumbs butter
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • parsley for garnish, or dill

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook noodles for one minute less than the package directions state.
  2. While noodles are cooking, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  3. Add the tuna, cream of mushroom, cream of celery, peas, milk, fried onions, garlic powder, and pepper to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  4. When pasta is done cooking, drain, and add noodles to the tuna mixture. Stir well.
  5. Pour the noodles into the prepared baking dish and bake, covered with foil, for 25 minutes.
  6. While the casserole is baking, stir together the topping ingredients.
  7. Remove the foil from the casserole and sprinkle the cracker crumbs over the top. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or dill before serving.

Notes

  • You may use any type of pasta in this recipe, such as elbows, shells, or penne. 
  • Swap the frozen peas for canned peas or another canned vegetable, if preferred. 
  • Our cream of chicken substitute may be used in place of the cream of mushroom and cream of celery, if you avoid canned soups. Double the recipe and add canned or fresh sauteed mushrooms, if you'd like.
  • Crushed potato chips make a great topping in place of the crackers and Parmesan, if you like.
