MY 70S CHILDHOOD TUNA CASSEROLE : >



My 70s Childhood Tuna Casserole : > image

Simple, quick and CHEAP... as a child, this was a weekly meal in our house. Due to the fact that we were totally BROKE this week, I decided to dig up an old favorite...lol. There IS no real recipe for this, however, I tried my best to type something concrete. Tasted just like mom used to make! Some things never change...

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (7 1/2 ounce) boxes macaroni and cheese mix
1/2 cup butter (not spread or tub product) or 1/2 cup margarine (not spread or tub product)
1/2 cup milk
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
1 (14 ounce) can peas, drained
1 (14 ounce) can corn, drained
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, divided
breadcrumbs, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Cook macaroni and cheese according to package directions (I usually boil noodles for 6 minutes because casserole will bake a bit more in oven).
  • I also add a little more milk to the mac and cheese so there is enough cheesy sauce to coat everything.
  • After thoroughly mixing noodles with the cheese, add peas corn.
  • Break the tuna up a bit with a fork so there aren't too many huge chunks and add it as well.
  • Toss in half of the shredded cheese and mix well.
  • Spoon into a large baking dish.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs to taste.
  • Heat in oven for about 20-25 minutes.

MY TUNA CASSEROLE



My Tuna Casserole image

This is the best tuna casserole I have ever eaten in my life! I prefer to eat it when it is fixed on the stovetop, rather than baked, but you can make it baked with this recipe also.

Categories     Stew

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (6 ounce) cans tuna in vegetable oil, drained
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
1 (7 ounce) can peas
1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles (I use NO Yolks Noodles, medium or broad)
5 hard-boiled eggs
1 yellow sweet onion, diced
regular potato chips (for baking only, I use either Lay's or the generic brand non-ruffle)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Boil the eggs for 10-15 minutes.
  • Boil the egg noodles until al dente, 7-8 minutes.
  • Dice the onion.
  • While eggs & noodles are still boiling, mix the tuna, cream of mushroom soup, the small can of peas, and the diced onion together in a big pot on the stove. Cook at about medium.
  • When the noodles are al dente, drain, then add them to the big pot.
  • When the eggs are done, and warm enough to handle without getting burned, dice the eggs up into the big pot.
  • Stir the entire tuna casserole mixture well, add salt and lots of pepper to taste, and let simmer for a while, so that the flavors have a chance to mingle. About 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve hot.
  • Baked Recipe:.
  • Follow above recipe (excluding the stovetop big pot).
  • After mixing together all ingredients in a big bowl, get out your casserole dish, and lay a layer of the Lay's potato chips on the bottom.
  • Put in a thick layer of tuna casserole mixture, then add another layer of Lay's potato chips. Add another layer of tuna mixture, then chips, then tuna.
  • You can also crumble some up to sprinkle on the top.
  • Bake at 375°F for 20-30 minutes.
  • (I think this recipe is the best when it is not baked, but both ways are delicious).
