Notes
- Carefully add the ingredients. Layering the ingredients helps in avoid getting a burn message on the Instant Pot due to the pasta soaking up the liquid too quickly
- Solid white albacore tuna is preferred for this recipe since it has a milder tuna flavor. Or choose tuna in water over in oil.
- Use regular milk or other milk of choice (if dairy free). If you don’t mind the extra calories, use half and half for an extra creaminess.
- Use elbow macaroni in place of egg noodles. Increase cooking time to 4 minutes
- Use gluten free pasta if desired and cook for 3 minutes.
- Leave out the cheese or substitute dairy free cheese if desired
- If you would like a crunchy topping, transfer the cooked tuna casserole to a casserole dish and add ½ cup of panko or regular breadcrumbs and broil about 6-8 inches from heat for a 2-4 minutes until brown. (Careful not to burn)
- Add other vegetables like diced baby carrots and/or sliced mushroom if desired. You can also use frozen mixed vegetables to save even more time.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days
- Freeze for up to 2 months
