I don't really like tuna casserole, but this was delicious.
Laura
Nice and easy recipe. I used whole wheat pasta and added a cup or so of cooked cauliflower rice and 2cans of tuna along with red onion. Loved the topping with paprika! Definitely use this again.
Laureen King
Your additions sound tasty Laura!
Tammy
Had anyone ever used canned salmon instead of tuna
Elle
i've done a salmon VERSION based off of this recipe. you can change up the cream soup to mushroom and mix some dill/salt/pepper in with your buttered breadcrumb mix. (i leave the cheese out entirely for salmon, but sometimes add some lemon juice).
i use the proportions of this recipe with any kind of protein/soup/noodle mix, always turns out well.
Linda
I used Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Celery soups. Also added some chopped mushrooms and onions. DELICIOUS!!
Carol
This is the 2d time I've used this recipe. Both times I have omitted the mayonnaise nd paprika. I added a red onion , garlic powder, and seasoning salt. I also used ×2 ,272gm cans of tuna packed in water drained one tin of celery soup, and filled the can with whole milk , 2 1/2 cups of frozen peas and 2 cups of elbow macaroni. It was very good.
Jackie Sloan
