salmon or tuna noodle casserole
This casserole came about when I didn't have any tuna but I did have some leftover salmon. What the heck .. let's toss it out there and see if it's any good. It's easy to make from items you probably already have in your pantry .. no special shopping required and there isn't much clean up at all. Serve with a side salad and/or crusty french bread, a glass of wine or tea and it's a full meal deal! Canned salmon will work in place of fresh. Be sure to drain and remove the bones. I made it a 2nd time with tuna and it was very well received.

How To Make salmon or tuna noodle casserole
-
Step 1NOTE: Add more seasonings than listed if you like them, add less or remove them if you don't like them. This recipe is not set in stone .. however ... I recommend you try it this way first and then adjust according to your individual tastes. If you make this recipe and choose to substitute chicken or pork for the salmon or if you add chocolate or hot chili peppers or Dr Pepper you will not be happy and it is not my fault you did not follow instructions so please do not leave negative feedback .. this is a fish dish. Thank you.
