not my mom's tuna noodle casserole
Is there anyone out there who actually admits that they like tuna noodle casserole? My own mother teased me when I was first married about making the standard Tuna Noodle Casserole. I then went about inventing my own. It is a much beloved casserole and comfort food at our house.
