recipe reviews for:

Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole

“This was a favorite in my home growing up and now it's a favorite of my family as well. I double the recipe these days for my husband and three children. For a change of pace I add canned chopped green chilies and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, use pasta shells or spirals, or top the casserole with sliced American or cheddar cheese instead of bread crumbs.”

Very good! I used a can of broccoli cheese soup, about a cup of sour cream, and a hand full of cheese with the mix. Then when after I put everything in the pan I filled it with milk! Very moist and yummy!

This recipe didn't taste like anything. My brother eats everything I put in front of him, but we both hated this!! I tried some sour cream, but it still tasted horrible.

In the years since I shared this it has evolved to the tastes of my children. For 12oz egg noodles we now use 1 small onion, diced,(I like a small red bellpepper diced,also)a teaspoon of oil, 1 cup of skim milk,1/2 teaspoon salt, 2cans cheddar cheese soup,and 12oz can albacore. Hope this helps.

My husband and I thought it was a little on the dry side. I added more milk and cheese than was asked for.

This recipe was good although I had to add some shredded cheese on top because mine came out a little dry. And I forgot to add my veggies so we had them on the side! :)

This was very dry and bland. I made a vegetarian version for myself and added tuna for the rest of the family. None of us liked it. Tuna Helper would have been better tasting. I will not make this recipe again.

Based off of the original recipe it was way way way too dry!! I wish I would have read more reviews. I didn't add anything to the original recipe so it was dry and noodlely. The stars are deceptive, I think people rated this off of the adjustments that they made to it.

I wasn't so sure about this recipe at first but my family loved it. This is one of those great recipes that you can change to fit your taste.

I'm sorry, I did not like this. This has to be the worst tuna dish I've ever made. It was dry and flavorless. An extra can of soup (maybe cream of celery), some grated cheddar cheese, and about twice as many peppers would improve this.

I thought that this recipe was a snap to make - though one need not use nearly as much olive oil to sweat the peppers and onions - but the outcome was disappointing. The base (cheesy sauce) was not nearly adequate to cover 12 ounces of egg noodles, so it ended up very bland and, actually, flavorless. See some other reviewers for adjustments, or better yet just look for an overall better recipe.

Add entire pepper (red/green). Use family size tuna packet. (Double amount of tuna.)

This is a good recipe rendition of tuna noodle casserole but I found that it needed some recipe adjustments. I liked the cheddar soup inclusion but didn't use the peppers - instead I added peas, extra milk, and extra sharp cheddar cheese. I found the recipe to be a little dry, hence the extra milk usage. I would still recommend this recipe.

Rather plain and boring. However, it makes a pretty good base to add other ingredients. However, I think I'll keep searching for a better tuna casserole recipe.

This is the driest casserole ever! I doubled the milk but there was no sauce in the finished dish. Follow other posters and added more soup, broth, milk etc. Would not make this again.

Very good! I used 1 10oz can of chicken instead of tuna and added green peas and diced carrots. I used a can of cheddar broccoli soup, 1/2 cup milk, a few shakes of garlic powder and 2 tbls of reduced fat mayo. Not really the recipe but I did use it as my base. No regrets!

This was wonderful! The only thing I changed was to omit the green and red bell peppers-my grandma doesn't like them. There's only her, me and my husband but leftovers only lasted one more meal! They both raved about it and insisted I keep this recipe-somewhat unusual for them! Thank you so very much for the post!
