Tuna Casserole With A Twist

I wanted to try something different from my usual tuna casserole and Joce had mentioned this in ODD a while back..We loved it! Easy to make, inexpensive... a great meal in a hurry. The chow mein noodles on top of the casserole stayed nice & crunchy, added some texture:) I used cream of celery soup and didn't add the cashews (I didn't have any)..I did have to bake for about 35 minutes to heat through..thanks Joce for sharing your Mom's tuna casserole! I'll be making this again!!!

I love tuna casserole. Having some crunch with it sounds great, too. I done have chow mein noodles or cashews, but I have ramen and almonds. Those should do. Oh, and ya think I could sub cream of mushroom? If so I have all the ingredients : )

Thanks for the heads up, NP

Absolutely sub cream of mushroom! That's what I usually use in tuna casserole:) Ramen noodles should work as well!
Your welcome Mr. P!

I have never made tuna casserole! It's something I need to think of making when I forget to take meat out of the freezer... :) Did you make your own cream of soup? That recipe G4U recommended for Cream of by Keni is awesome...I swear it's the best and super easy to make...
Looks so good Marie!

That does look good Marie and I want to short list this recipe and make it soon. As I said in ODD I think I'm going to use canned salmon instead of tuna though. Do you really think the ramen will work though? Are you just going to break them up and sprinkle them on without cooking them Mr. P? I have wanted to make that Cream of soup by Keni forever.

Thanks ML2C..No, I haven't tried Keni's recipe yet..I'll have to remember to try that next time..it would be so much better than canned!

Janet, I think the ramen would work, the chow mein in the casserole did soften up a bit, but the the top stayed crunchy..I'm thinking the same if you used the ramen..I could be wrong though, sure wouldn't be the first time...I'm sure if Mr. P gets a chance to make this using ramen noodles, he will let us know!

Thank you for the lovely review Marie:) I have made it without the cashews many times
and it is still good.

ML2C, Yes I make Keni' soups in place of canned all the time and it is so much better.

Mr. P I have used cream of mushroom and cream of chicken as well in this and I think ramen noodles would do the trick in this. I had never thought of that before it is actually a cool idea!

Thanks everyone:)

I haven't had tuna casserole in years. I use cream of chicken when I make mine. This certainly does look different. I wonder how it is made with potato chips?

Frankie, I haven't tried it with potato chips yet but I might have to sometime as we can't get the canned Chow Mein noodles here anymore for some reason? I have done it with the packaged ones since we haven't been able to get the canned ones and it is O.K. but not as good as the canned ones at all! Marie has kindly offered to send them to me and I just might take her up on her offer:)

Ha! I just solved my problem about finding the noodles! I stopped by my local Chinese
restaurant and bought some of their fried noodles. I must say they were awesome in this and they only cost a dollar! Can you tell I am delighted? RIGHT ON!
