Ingredients

16 oz wide egg noodles

1 cn evaporated milk (regular milk is ok in a pinch)

1 c Parmesan cheese (to taste)

2 cn tuna, drained

1 T margarine (less if using oil packed tuna)

1 onion, chopped

1 celery stalk, chopped (very optional)

1 T chives (optional)

basil

oregano

thyme

rosemary

garlic

pepper

any other seasonings that you want.

1 small bag of regular or Sour Cream n' Onion potato chips, crushed. *OPTIONAL but highly recommended*

Directions

First make up the noodles as directed by the package, but cook for a couple minutes less (so noodles will continue cooking and absorb the flavors from the casserole).

In a largish bowl, mix tuna and margarine, then add about a tsp each of the seasonings along with the Parmesan cheese and mix well, Now grab a spoon and taste, adding seasoning and cheese as needed. When you find you want to just sit and eat it without putting it in the oven, you know it's ready! :-) (HONEST, this is how I know it's ready!)

Now mix in the noodles and once they're mixed in, add some milk - just enough to make it wet.

If you like really wet sloppy creamy tuna noodles, make sure to add enough milk so it's quite wet. If you like yours dryer, use less milk. I have found a can of evaporated milk gives just enough whether I use two cans of tuna and 1 whole bag of noodles or if I use half a bag and 1 can of tuna.

If you like, you can crumble up a bunch of potato chips to put on the top, but you can skip that and instead put a layer of Parmesan cheese and more seasonings on top.

Cook for about 45mins at 350f (about 180c) and check on it. The main thing is to make sure when you stick a big spoon in the center that it's not all milk. If you like it dryer, cook it a bit longer.

NOTES:

The tuna, noodles and Parmesan cheese and milk are required, everything else is optional and to suit your taste.

DON'T add salt as the parmesan cheese is already quite salty.

The Tuna can be either the kind packed in oil or water is fine. Make sure and drain it though.

If you want to make less, use half a bag of noodles and half the tuna. I purposely typed in instructions for a large batch so that you can either make it and freeze some, or use the widget thingy to half the recipe.
