My mom made this recipe for my 3 very picky sons and they loved it. The only thing she added was a can of stewed tomatoes with garlic and onion. She told me not to use diced tomatoes as only two of my boys like them and it's easier to serve those who prefer no tomato. I will definitely make this recipe as much as they like since I can pretty much swap out most of the ingredients for organic ones. Laughing cow cheese will work well.

This was my first tuna casserole I have ever made, not that special. It was ok, the family liked it, I might make again in a pinch.

This is a very versatile recipe that deserves 5 stars everytime because it is so forgiving. Thank you Chris who submitted and Kates for your suggestions/variations. I basically added what I had in my freezer/frig. I used Campbell's fat free celery soup, and Campbell's low sodium mushroom soup, 8 ounces fresh sliced/chopped mushrooms, and the dredges of some Newman's Own Olive Oil & Vinegar that I had on hand, 1 Tb of both Chipotle Seasoning and Basil, 2 cups soy milk (dairy intolerance), 1 cup of frozen chopped green/red peppers, no salt, no pepper (I'm not a fan), 1/4 cup grated low fat cheddar cheese with the crushed pringles I had on hand. This was a "5" from my fussy husband. The heat from the chipotle and the nice crust from the chips/cheese were great. If anything were to improve it, it would be going with Kates suggestion of using two layers of 4 slices each. Mmm, Mmm, good!

This was a great recipe just the way it is. Haven't had tuna noodle casserole in a very long time but this was tasty.

i was not impressed with this recipe at all...it was missing something...and was VERY dry. i had to reheat leftovers on the stovetop and add allot of milk to salvage the leftovers. it was very very bland and wound up adding onion salt and pepper

A few changes I made to make it a bit healthier and add some flavor... 1. Whole wheat noodles (only 5 mins till they're ready by boiling!) 2. 98% fat free soups 3. Soy milk 4. Added mushrooms 5. Added chopped vidalia onion 6. Added frozen peas 7. Added about 1/4 cup of sherry cooking wine while in the saucepan stage 8. Excluded salt 9. Added another can of tuna ...ok, 9 changes. But it was this recipe as a base! Anyway, came out really well. Highly recommended.

This was a really yummy extended family pleasing recipe. I do agree that a few healthy twists were in order. Adding fresh mushrooms, chopped celery & peas were a good addition. Also, I agree that the salt could definately be eliminated.

I'm giving this 4 stars only because I honestly dislike potato chips, but this was the recipe that I most "remember". I left the top plain and it was still awesome. Only modification, (chips withheld), was whole wheat noodles. THANK YOU.

This is a great recipe as is and of course people should add to their family's liking however I don't think that the ratings should go for that... I thought my mom was the only one who used Potato Chips to top this and mac n cheese and several other casseroles she made over the years and I always do the same...Even have some of my frineds doing the same...The Wise chips and the cheaper ones work the best because they are more oily...Anyway, Thank You very much for the recipe it is definately a keeper...

This is an excellent Tuna Noodle Casserole. It's very creamy and excellent for people who don't like a strong tuna taste.

Very Good Recipe. Like others, I made a few changes. My family loves cheese,so instead of Cream of Celery, I bought the Campbells Cheddar Cheese in the can. I also added a 1/4 cup of sour cream and opted to use the Ritz butter crackers instead of potato chips. I was afraid that stored and reheated leftovers topped with chips would end up soggy. I used celery salt instead of the celery soup and added a blend of white cheeses and sharp cheddar cheese instead of American Cheese. It is a delicious meal. This is a forgiving recipe...I forgot to put in the garlic and it still turned out wonderful. Thanks for the recipe Chris. Have fun cooking!

Good. Nice flavor and very economical. Mine was a little soupy, but I used spaghetti pasta instead of the recommended pasta...that could be why.

Pretty easy to do - I plan on adding peas next time. It also seems like an easy recipe to double to stock up on leftovers.

this is a GREAT recipe. I made it last night and everyone loved it, even my daughter who was a little skeptical at first about the cheese. However I made a couple of changes, just for personal taste. I really don't like american cheese (sorry) so I used half mozarella and half mild cheddar cheese (grated) and instead of potato chips I used french fried onions

This was wonderful! I used 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom soup (didn't have Cream of Celery - yuck anyway), added a few defrosted peas in, extra can of tuna, used whole milk, topped with dried bread crumbs drizzled with melted butter. So good. If you really like yours with more creaminess, just add another can of soup and a bit more milk! Typically I only give at most 3 stars for such a common dish, but this one deserved the 4 stars.

This was easy and delicious. I made some changes as everyone does to suit thier family. I added two small cans of mushrooms and chili powder which gave it some kick. I topped it with cheese soup by campbells and crackers. It was really great and easy to make.

This recipe was really good! We couldn't eat it all, I hope it freezes well. If you are planning on adding ingredients to this dish like a bag of frozen peas or extra cream of whatever soup... my only advice is to use a 3 qt casserole dish or larger. YUM! Thanks,
