Tuna Casserole
Report
Tuna casserole, the quintessential American dish. Perfect for potlucks and under $10 to make. Made with canned tuna, mushrooms, peas and noodles in a creamy sauce (and no canned soup) finished with toasted breadcrumbs – so good!

Ingredients
- 6 ounces egg noodles
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion (minced fine)
- 3 tbsp flour (or gluten free flour)
- 1 3/4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1 ounce sherry (optional)
- 10 ounces sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 1 cup frozen petite peas
- 2 oz cans tuna in water, drained ( (I used albacore))
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (and black pepper to taste)
- 4 ounces 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar (such as Cabot)
- 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 2 tbsp seasoned breadcrumbs
- fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly spray 9 x 12 casserole with cooking spray.
- Cook noodles in salted water until al dente, or slightly undercooked by 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large deep skillet. Add onions and cook on medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the flour and a pinch of salt and stir well, cooking an additional 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat
- Slowly whisk in the broth until well combined, increasing heat to medium and whisking well for 30 seconds, then add the milk and bring to a boil.
- When boiling, add sherry, mushrooms and petite peas, add salt and black pepper to taste and simmer on medium, mixing occasionally until it thickens (about 7 to 9 minutes).
- Add drained tuna, stirring another minute.
- Remove from heat and add the reduced fat sharp cheddar and mix well until it melts. Add the noodles to the sauce and mix well until evenly coated.
- Pour into casserole and sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Spray a little more cooking spray and top and bake for about 25 minutes.
- Place under the broiler a few minutes to get the crumbs crisp (careful not to burn).
