Enhanced Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add egg noodles and 3 teaspoons salt to the boiling water; cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 6 minutes. Drain noodles. Return to pot and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until mushrooms are softened and onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add remaining butter; stir constantly until melted. Sprinkle flour over vegetable mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in milk and stock and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
• Add sauce mixture to reserved noodles. Stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese, peas, and tuna. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese over the top.
• Stir together bread crumbs, remaining 2 teaspoons oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and paprika in a small bowl. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

• I finally found a brand that makes noodles that are thicker than usual- I cook them until bearly softened and let them absort the tasty liquid of the casserole.
• Meanwhile in a large bowl combine the drained tuna, the green chillis, mushroom soup and milk-.
• Stir to combine,then add peas and gently fold in to tuna mixture.
• Add noodles.
• Stir to combine.
• Pour in to 9x13 inches baking dish that has been strayed with PAM.
• I usually let the dish set for 30-45 minute at this point so that the noodles can absorb the liquid of the dish.
• Put cubed Velveeta evenly on top of tuna mixture.
• Cover with foil and bake @ 350 degrees for 45/60 minutes or until bubbly.
• Remove foil and sprinkle with crushed chips.-GARDEN SALSA SUNCHIPS-(I couldn't get this accepted).
