One of my childhood favorites. My Mom made it even better than all the other mothers because she used potato chips in it.

My mom always made tuna casserole with potato chips. She died when I was a teenager and this is one of those recipes that wasn't written down. I'll be making this sometime soon and it will truly be comfort food. Thanks for sharing.


You know my kid makes her tuna casserole just like this and it tastes better than mine. Must be the potato chip! Good comfort food and I'm always happy when someone else does the cooking.

This is a "10" oops, I forgot I can only give you a "5" but it deserves a "10" ;) Thanks for sharing a great casserole recipe and many fond memories.


I made this a couple nights ago. We really liked it. The only thing I did wrong is think that it would be too much milk so I left some out and that made it too dry. So Follow the directions exactly. hehe
