tuna noodle casserole with cheese crumb topping
(3 ratings)
I've played with tuna casserole since I can remember. I took what I knew from my mother's classic version with the potato chip topping and made it my own. This is what I came up with. My fiance isn't a big tuna noodle casserole lover, but he loves this one. This dish can be modified with reduced-fat soup, reduced-fat cheese, and light tuna. Other variations include Panko/cheese crumbs or old-fashioned crumbled potato chips.

How To Make tuna noodle casserole with cheese crumb topping
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Fill a pot with water. Bring to a boil. Add noodles and boil for 6 minutes.
-
2While the water is boiling, work on the sauce and topping. In a medium bowl, combine milk, cream of mushroom soup, tuna, mushrooms, frozen peas, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Consistency should be creamy, but not extremely thick. Set aside.
-
3In another bowl, add plain bread crumbs, cheese, and melted butter. Using a fork, mix until slightly moist.
-
4Drain noodles. Return to the pot.
-
5Pour the sauce over the noodles and mix. If it appears too thick, add 1 Tbsp of milk at a time to slightly thin the sauce.
-
6Pour noodles and sauce into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
-
7Sprinkle cheese crumb topping over the noodles.
-
8Bake for 10 minutes until cheese crumb topping is golden brown. Do not cook for more than 15 minutes or the casserole will become dry.
