Tuna Casserole. Your family will love this version! The dish is often topped with potato chips, corn flakes, bread crumbs or canned fried onions. Made with a simple from scratch sauce, egg noodles, tuna, peas and a crunchy Panko-Parmesan topping.
The ingredients are simple - canned tuna, mushrooms, peas, noodles in a homemade creamy sauce (without canned soup) finished with toasted breadcrumbs.
They also gets a bad rap for being an "old-fashioned" dish, or something most people have little use for.
I am all about easy dinners I can throw together with ingredients I already have in my kitchen.
