Tuna Noodle Casserole. The ingredients are simple - canned tuna, mushrooms, peas, noodles in a homemade creamy sauce (without canned soup) finished with toasted breadcrumbs. Egg noodles are combined with canned tuna in a creamy sauce and then baked. All baked together in one pan!
Cooked chicken breast works well in place of the tuna. —Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah.
Tomato paste adds a tangy counterpoint to the creamy, noodle-coating sauce, while Dijon mustard and lemon zest add zing.
