This tuna noodle casserole is a budget-friendly recipe that tastes like a million bucks. It combines pantry staples like condensed soup, egg noodles and frozen peas with creamy sour cream and bold Parmesan cheese, creating a hearty casserole the whole family will love.<\/p>\n
Canned tuna recipes<\/a> are a fantastic way to incorporate lean protein into your dinner rotation. And since tuna is already cooked, it doesn’t require any browning or precooking steps, keeping the amount of dirty dishes to a minimum\u2014something we can all appreciate on a busy day!<\/p>\n Tuna noodle casserole<\/a> can be made in many ways. For this recipe, we keep it simple by using condensed soup. Canned soup is a convenient shortcut that helps this homemade casserole come together almost as quickly as boxed Tuna Helper.<\/p>\n To make the casserole, whip up a creamy sauce by stirring together cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and milk. Toss it together with cooked egg noodles, tuna and vegetables. Then, top it off with a buttery bread crumb topping. After 25 minutes in the oven, the casserole will be ready to eat!<\/p>\n Of course, you don’t have to make this tuna casserole recipe with cream of mushroom soup. If you’d rather make a from-scratch sauce, try adding diced mushrooms to homemade cream of chicken soup<\/a> or make the sauce from this slow-cooker tuna noodle casserole<\/a> recipe.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n Cook the noodles according to the package directions for al dente, adding the peas during the last minute of cooking. Drain and discard the water.<\/p>\n While the noodles are cooking, stir together the soup, sour cream, cheese, milk and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the tuna, onion and pepper.<\/p>\n After draining, add the noodles and peas, and toss to combine. Transfer the mixture to an 11×7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, toss the bread crumbs with melted butter, and sprinkle the mixture over top of the casserole.<\/p>\n Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly.<\/p>\n Tuna casserole is a great make-ahead dish. Assemble the dish as directed, but do not add the bread crumbs. Store the casserole, covered, in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, remove the dish from the fridge 30 minutes before baking. Add the bread crumbs and bake as directed, adjusting the cooking time as needed for the casserole to heat through.<\/p>\n Store tuna noodle casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat the casserole in the microwave or a 350\u00b0 oven until warmed through.<\/p>\n Unbaked tuna noodle casserole freezes very well, so consider doubling this recipe and saving the second dish for another time. Freeze the dish, covered, for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight. Set the dish on the counter 30 minutes before baking, then bake as directed, adjusting the cooking time as needed.<\/p>\n Condensed cream of mushroom soup will create a thick sauce for tuna casserole, but only if you don’t dilute the soup. If the tuna casserole looks a little thin after baking, mix in an extra 1\/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Let the casserole bake, uncovered, for a little longer\u00a0and it should thicken right up.<\/p>\n Moisture is the best remedy for a dry casserole. Warm up 1\/2 cup milk, or 1\/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth. Drizzle it over the top of the baked casserole, and cover the dish with foil. Let stand for 10 minutes to give the noodles time to soak up the liquid.<\/p>\n A tender-crisp veggie is the perfect complement to creamy tuna noodle casserole. Try simple garlic broccoli<\/a>, steamed kale<\/a> with a squeeze of fresh lemon or any of these vegetable side dishes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We make this tuna noodle casserole recipe with canned tuna, tender vegetables, cream of mushroom soup and egg noodles.

Creamy Tuna-Noodle Casserole Tips<\/h2> \r\n
Does tuna-noodle casserole freeze well?<\/h3> \r\nAn unbaked tuna-noodle casserole freezes very well, so consider doubling this recipe and saving the second for another time. To enjoy later, remove casserole from freezer and place in refrigerator 24 hours before baking. Bring it up to room temp before putting it in the oven. Watch this video on how to freeze a casserole like a pro<\/a>!\r\n\r\n
How do you thicken tuna casserole?<\/h3> \r\nTo thicken your tuna casserole, keep it in the oven for longer. This should thicken it right up. Mixing in an extra \u00bc cup of Parmesan cheese will also help bind it together. \r\n\r\n
How do you fix a dry casserole?<\/h3> \r\nTo fix a dry casserole, the best remedy is a little moisture. Warm up \u00bd cup of chicken or vegetable broth and drizzle it over the top. Cover with foil and let it stand for 10 minutes to give it time to soak up the liquid.
<\/div>What can I substitute for peas in this recipe?<\/h3> \r\nIf peas aren\u2019t a favorite, you can substitute a cup of frozen mixed vegetables or frozen chopped broccoli for this healthy tuna recipe<\/a>. If you have leftover frozen veggies, use them up in these frozen mixed veggie recipes<\/a> or these frozen broccoli recipes<\/a>.
