This is an old family favorite. I love egg noodles and this casserole is full of them ! The whole family will enjoy this recipe. It can be prepared in advanced and keeps well in your freezer for a couple of weeks.

What you need:

• 1 pound of egg noodles cooked according to package directions
• 2 eight ounce cans of tuna fish
• 1 cup of mayonnaise
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 large green pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped and seeded
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons of olive or canola oil
• Butter for greasing casserole dish

What you do:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Boil noodles according to package directions. Place cooked noodles into a bowl and add one tablespoon of butter or margarine and toss noodles. This will prevent your noodles from sticking. Heat frying pan under medium heat for one minute and then add olive or canola oil.
2. Add chopped onion and pepper, tomatoes, and garlic. Cook until the onions appear translucent, about 10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
3. Mix tuna, mayonnaise, and cooked vegetables in a large bowl. Butter baking pan or casserole dish. Add noodles and tuna/veggie mixture. Toss lightly to combine. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

I just wanted to tell anyone that was considerng making the Tuna Noodle Cassarole. This recipe is a MUST!! I love to cook, and to be honest I am very sceptical. However, I absaloutly loved this recipe. Ohhh and in case anyone out there is saying they don't like tuna.....neither do I....but I loved this!! Thank you to whoever originally posted this recipe! It's made it to my most favorites list.

One last thing...it's very easy too! Also....rather than make one large cassarole (we never finish them, and end up throwing half away) I made two smaller ones, and froze one. This worked well. Thanks again,

A Can of Tuna:
The Complete Guide to Cooking With Tuna
by Andy Black

Poor old tuna! It's the ugly duckling of the culinary world ranking down there with bologna sandwiches, frozen pot pies, and casseroles that come in a box. The general feeling seems to be-throw a lettuce leaf and tomato at it and then apologize. This is unfortunate. Tuna, and more specifically canned tuna, is inexpensive, universally available and has a wonderful flavor. It is high in protein, low in fat and calories-and, as if this weren't enough, it is also immensely versatile. By way of proof writer and avid cook Andy Black offers with almost a hundred tuna recipes from all over the world ranging from soups to pasta salads to casseroles pats to fondues.
