Notes
- We’ve topped our Tuna Casserole with some crushed potato chips for some extra crunch to balance the creamy. If that doesn’t sound like your taste, swap it out for a mix of melted butter and breadcrumbs, or leave off the crunchy topper altogether.
- Want to make this casserole even more your own, pack in more veggies, or simply experiment with such a classic and basic dish? The sky’s the limit! We’ve seen versions with mushrooms, onions, broccoli, cabbage— even jalapeños and bacon.
- Try yours with your favorite veggies, swap out the egg noodles for other pasta or even “zoodles”, and play around until you find your favorite version.
