Quick and Easy Tuna Casserole

As written, I would give this 1 or 2 stars, but with tweaks it’s more like 3 or 4 stars. If you make it as is, you’re going to end up with chunks of raw onion in your dish, which is extremely unpleasant. At no point does the onion get cooked. I highly recommend mincing (instead of chopping) the onion, and then sauteing it in a bit of olive oil for 6-8 minutes to soften it up. Set the onion aside, then wipe out the pan and continue on with the recipe. I also found the pasta could use a bit more moisture, so either save some pasta water, or mix in some milk to thin things out. Otherwise, this was surprisingly tasty! I’m not a tuna casserole lover, but I enjoyed this a lot.

A tasty childhood comfort food! I followed the advice of other home cooks and amped up the flavor by adding one medium onion chopped and sautéed (the sautéing is important to do before adding other ingredients), red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the tuna mix. I reduced the peas to one cup as two seemed a bit much. And I replaced the American cheese slices with one and a half cups of grated red and white sharp cheddar and finished in the oven for 15 minutes with 5 tablespoons of Panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Super simple, yummy - perfect for a lazy Sunday dinner with plenty of leftovers for the week!

Made this last minute for dinner! Family enjoyed it, especially our very picky toddler! Will make again but add an extra can of tuna 😉

I made it and it turned out great. I didn’t have egg noodles so I broke up thin spaghetti noodles and I didn’t use frozen peas I used can peas and I chose not to add the onions. And our Tuna Casserole turned out really good thank you for this recipe we will definitely be making this again!

My family and I love this! Only thing I did different was add mushrooms and I sautéed the onions before I added it to the casserole. It’s so good!

I made this and it came out perfectly. The only change I made was to use mushroom garlic soup and I added some milk because it was a very thick consistency.
