Eats: Tuna Casserole

4:09 PM

Tuna

In hindsight, I should have taken a pic of a serving of this on a plate, because this straight up looks like a bowl of potato chips. Whoops. 

Tuna casserole, because Kyle found my stash of canned tuna in the pantry and had a craving. I am not really the biggest fan, but after a bit of tweaking, I ended up really liking this recipe. I feel like this is a simple enough dish, that everyone has their own version of it, so that makes it interesting enough for a blog post, correct?

Get
6 oz tuna (drained)
8 oz noodles, I used spiral noodles. I think most people use egg, but whateves. 
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
10 3/4 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup + water
Kettle cooked potato chips
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 cups peas
Cayenne pepper
Salt & Black pepper to taste

Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the package, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients together in a casserole dish, except for the chips, adding enough seasonings to your own taste (I like putting 2 tablespoons or so of cayenne pepper, because I like spicy things). Next, crunch up the potato chips, and layer on the top. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.

    This sound really nice! I just showed it to Kris and maybe we'll give it a whirl sometime soon. I wonder if you could substitute the mushroom soup for another soup... Kris isn't a big mushroom fan.

    I may have got slightly confused about the noodles... I thought you were putting actual noodles in there, like Chinese noodles haha

    One of the only foods I miss being a vegetarian is fish. I used to live off tuna pasta bake, it was simple, quick and delicious! You've made me want it again. ;) x

    Tuna casserole was one of my favorites growing up. Now that I'm a vegetarian, I have somewhat perfected a veggie version made with garbanzo beans. It's not quite the same, but it brings back the good memories nonetheless!
