Tuna Noodle Casserole
If there were a poster child for comfort food, I’m pretty sure this recipe would be in the running to be included in that list. Whose mama and grandma didn’t make this stuff? It’s great because it uses mostly pantry staples. It’s economical, easy to make, and tastes great! I grew up eating the stuff with the cream of mushroom soup in it.
You can definitely omit the canned soup and make your own. You can find a recipe for your own cream of whatever soup HERE. I like to serve it with a side salad, fruit and usually some type of bread.

Pinned 🙂 Sounds delicious! We usually make a tuna dish using a pre-mixed mushroom powder/pasta box … lol..that's on our very lazy days. I like the peas in there.
Almost my recipe but I use a can of cream of onion soup in place of the chopped onion. Just add a bit more noodles.
My mum used to make something similar but used tinned chicken and cream of chicken soup since none of us like tuna. Thanks for sharing on Tout It Tuesday! Hope to see you next week.
My mom made this often during Lent. One of my dad's favorites. I don't remember her adding peas. Gosh, that seems like so long ago. Thank you for linking up, Jamie!
Yum this looks amazing!

My husband thinks I'm strange, but I LOVE tuna noodle casserole! My mom always made it very similar to your recipe, but she didn't use cheese and never baked it. I will be trying this soon–yummy! 🙂
