Ingredients

How to make it

  • For the casserole: Heat the oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish, and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When oil is hot and butter foams, add celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in scallions and jalapeño, and cook for 3 minutes more.
  • Add Old Bay Seasoning and flour to vegetable mixture, stirring until flour is well incorporated. Cook for 1 minute, then slowly pour in milk, stirring well to make sure no lumps of flour are left. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in sour cream and mustard, and set aside.
  • Once the water is boiling, add egg noodles and cook until they are slightly tender and still white in the middle, about 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Stir cheddar and egg noodles into vegetable-and-milk mixture. Flake tuna into mixture, and stir gently. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • For the topping:
  • Combine parsley, butter, cheddar, and saltine crumbs in a mixing bowl, using your hands to mix well until all butter is incorporated. Sprinkle mixture evenly over casserole. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until crackers are golden and casserole is bubbling

    This does sound a lot better than the ol' canned soup version - which my husband recoils over.

    Oh this sounds good. Only thing I HAVE to sub are the saltines, I put crushed potato chips on top before baking. And a few on my thighs.

    Sounds like a tuna casserole I could really go for. Never have been extremely keen on the usual canned soup versions but now this I could get excited about. I wonder how this would be with grilled fresh tuna? Thanks I can't wait to try this.
