Old Fashioned Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Cook pasta as directed on package.
• Drain tuna reserving the liquid, add lemon juice and refrigerate.
• Meanwhile, melt the 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium heat and saute the onion and mushroom slices until soft.
• Stir in the flour until blended and cook over low heat until bubbly (stirring constantly).
• Stir in the evaporated milk and add the reserved tuna oil and cook stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
• Stir in salt and pepper and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Gently stir the tuna with the sauce and heat through.
• Drained pasta and serve warm with the tuna and sauce mixture.
• NOTE: Eileen said that she served it with rice instead of the pasta.

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.

Steps:

• Using a large (9"x13") casserole dish begin by crushing a layer of chips on the bottom not into powder but just broken pieces to make a full layer, I usually use less than half a bag but you want to cover the bottom well.
• Proceed to layer the remaining ingredients using all in the order listed - celery, asparagus, tuna - then spread the undiluted cream of chicken soup carefully so you don't mix up your layers.
• Sprinkle with cheese, it's OK to use a little extra if you like or less if you are looking to reduce calories.
• Top with crushed chips and bake in a 325 oven for 45 minutes or till hot all the way through. If your chips are beginning to brown you may want to cover with foil at the end but not the whole way through or they will get soggy.
• Enjoy with green or fruit salad or sliced tomatoes!
