Susan Portman is a talented artist who also knows how to cook artfully. Susan highly recommends this Tuna Noodle Casserole, as it is an easy-to-make crowd-pleaser.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces medium egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 7-ounce (200 gram) can tuna, drained
  • 1 10.5-ounce (300 gram) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 2/3-3/4 cup of milk
  • 2 slices yellow cheese, broken into small pieces
  • touch of pepper
  • Durkees Dried Onions or Potato Chips (crumbled)

Preparation:

1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C). Grease a 9x9 inch casserole dish.
3. In a skillet, heat butter. Add onion and saute until transparent.
4. In a bowl, mix together sauteed onion, tuna, mushroom soup, milk, cheese and pepper.
5. Pour mixture into casserole pan.
6. Top with Durkees or Potato Chips.
7. Bake at 350° F (180° C) for 35 minutes.

VARIATION: One colorful variation is to add 1/2 cup of canned peas or corn, drained, to the tuna mixture before baking. Another way to add color and flavor is to chop 1/2 red pepper, saute it with the onion, and then add to the tuna mixture before baking.

Tuna Variations, Member Lesley007

Since I cater to a gluten-free diet in my family I adapt all recipes, if possible, so that everyone can enjoy the same dish. I followed the tuna noodle casserole recipe but 'subbed' noodles for cooked and drained gluten-free linguine and added a homemade white sauce with canned mushrooms. Green onions taste good too instead of onion. Thank you for this recipe. While adapting recipes, I must continue to keep them kosher - challenging!
