This is a very basic tuna casserole recipe. Good (for family) on its' own, it does improve with the addition of one or two traditional vegetables - peas, broccolli, etc. I like to add noodles to make it heartier, and also an egg or two to give it that 'custard-like' consistency. - If you didn't like this in the grammar school lunchroom or at grandma's house, you may not like it any better now, but with a little imagination you can transform the base recipe into something quite pleasing to you and your family. Thanks, MFMS, for the return of this classic!

Hadn't had this since I was a kid. This was always one of my dad's favorite meals. Very good.

Recipes with only 3 ingredients....taste like it. Boring & bland. Boo! It needs peas, chopped celery, onion, & cheese just to begin getting good.

The main problem I had with this recipe was the salt content. Because of the use of chips, the salt content shot through the roof. I am not one to use an excess amount of salt as it is, and this simply contained too much. Also, the tuna was a bit overpowering, which could be because the flavor was enhanced by the salt. I think I would try this recipe again, but instead I would find an unsalted or lightly salted chip, and use more soup and less tuna.

OH YUM! Loved it just as it was written. Didn't make any modifications. Best of all, my picky eater daughter asked for more.

OMG! I also grew up with this recipe with the exact ingredients. We were five kids plus Mom and Dad and money was tight so this fed everyone. I thought it was my Mom's recipe..haha guess a lot of homes at the time needed to stretch that dollar. I love this recipe but not my husband so I only do it occasionally.

Yummy! I did make some minor changes though. I didn't have 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, so I used one can cream of mushroom and the other can cream of chicken. I also added cheese to mine. I served it over rice. It was a little like 'gravy' consistency so I might try just one can of soup the next time with a little milk like some other reviewers have suggested.

I grew up on this with a few exceptions. We made a sauce using one can cream of mushroon, 1 cup of milk and 1tsp worchestire sauce. Then we layered the casserole beginning with potato chips, tuna, corn and sauce. We repeated layers ending with the chips. My kids have grown on this also and love it.
