I took this basic recipe and, using input from other reviewers, I altered it by using 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can cream of celery soup and ½ can of milk; 2 cans tuna, a scant handful of shredded cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese blend, and 1 cup of peas. To the top I added a handful of chopped black olives, and a dusting of chili powder and celery salt. I baked it for 25 minutes at 375°, and the last 10 minutes topped it with French's onions. My husband usually does not like noodles in any casserole - except this one. It's very goooood! (Next time maybe a touch of sour cream would be good, too.)

This is the basic, old-school comfort tuna casserole recipe I was looking for. (Pretty much the same as I used to make, but I wanted to hone my ingredient quantities.) Sometimes I use egg noodles, sometimes elbow macaroni. I omit the pimento, add 1/4-1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese and serve the peas on the side. Great for lunch the next day, too!

Never had any kind of tuna casserole before. Was not a fan. Thought it was very plain. If I make this again I'll definitely add cheese

This recipe is fabulous. I made it twice in 1 week per the request of my husband who didn't even want to eat it. I did make a few changes. I used 1 can of cream of chicken and 1 can of cream of mushroom. I also used the peas but added carrots and corn. Also for the topping which was the BEST... I used some crushed ritz crackers and crushed Snyders bite size pretzels (sea salt & cracked pepper flavored). I spread that over the whole top and didn't skimp on it. It added the perfect crunch to this recipe. My husband said it reminded him of his grandmothers seafood casserole. My kids even ate all of it and they don't even like tuna fish.

This reminded me of growing up as we ate it often. I will have to start making it often, too, because my children, even the picky eaters, loved it. Canned peas work just fine. If you are out of bread crumbs, you can throw crackers into a zippered baggie and pound them into crumbs.

Good homestyle casserole. Easy to scale for two people, just reduce pasta and tuna amounts only, for a saucy meal.

Delicious recipe; I like pepper though so I would add that next time and I did double the batch it still came out very well.

I am always looking for recipes that my kids will like, and this was it! My picky eater even asked for seconds and finished his whole plate! My husband added hot sauce to his (he adds hot sauce to every meal) and loved it! I will be making this again!!

Added half a can of drained mushrooms and about a half cup of chopped onion. Omitted the bread topping. Was okay. Needed more seasoning. Husband liked it and it was easy so I will probably make again.
