eh. Just okay I think it needs a little more flavor. Also, I had to use too many dishes to get this dinner made! Good luck!

This was a very homey, yummy comfort dish that totally knocks the canned soup edition out of my repertoire! I added chopped carrots (to the sauteed mix)and used about half the amount of butter called for. I really like that it is a quick recipe that calls for items I usually have in my pantry or fridge.

I'm in search for the perfect tuna casserole and this one is pretty close. Made a couple little changes to add flavor: 1. used 1 cup milk and 1 cup sour cream (instead of the 2 cups milk) 2. added a package of italian dressing seasoning packet to the milk mixture 3. 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper I would still like to see a "crunchier" top ... not crazy about using potato chips ... open to suggestions? The bread crumbs/cheese tastes good, but doesn't add a crunchy ending ...

This was by far the best tuna casserole I have ever eaten or made. I love that the sauce is made from scratch! The flavor is delicious. The only think I changed was to leave out the mushrooms, my husband doesn't like them.

Too much onion. Otherwise, very good.

My family isn't big on tuna, so this was a risk. I called it "Mystery Hotdish" so that no one would turn their nose up at the mention of tuna. :) It went over very well! I did not add the celery or peas. Served a veggie on the side instead. Also used a small can of mushrooms instead of fresh, as I had them on hand. Used cavatappi pasta instead of egg noodles. My favorite part was the cheesy breadcrumbs on top!

The best comfort food. I only used about half the noodles called for and did increase the sauce. Delicious!

Liked this very much, but needs more milk or less noodles. I also added chopped carrots and french fried onions on top. My husband loved it.

Delicious casserole and it makes me feel good to not use the MSG filled can of soup! Definitely a great meal with good leftovers for lunch.

I also thought it was pretty bland as written. ANd a bit dry too. Next time I will add a bunch more spices and either reduce the pasta or double the sauce.

It's an okay recipe, not terrible. But it's very bland if you don't add any seasonings to the sauce. I added some Old Bay seasoning, and it was okay. There was still something missing to balance out the flavors.

Blech! We didn't like this. It was incredibly flavorless. I added a few extra herbs and such cuz I felt like what was called for wouldn't be enough. I didn't like the topping. My husband and I each had one helping, then that was it. I didn't save any of it (I eat leftovers for lunch every day).

Pretty good recipe. Rather bland though. Instead of bread crumbs, I crushed up Ritz crackers and added them to melted butter and sprinkled it over top before putting it in for baking. I also added dollops of cream cheese on top. I felt there was more flavor in the cheesy crust topping than there was in the whole casserole.

For us, the seasonings were a little odd for this dish. Too much thyme.

This was very good just as written. I have made it twice and it is worth it to not use the condenced soup. I have made it a third time with canned chicken because I was out of tuna and it was good as well.

Very good and really very easy. Thanks MVANWINKLE. The things I did differently than the recipe is that I used farfalle pasta (had it) and substituted crushed french fried onions for the bread crumbs. Since some of the early reviews complained about dryness, I also added 1/4 cup of white wine to the mushrooms when they were cooking. I really think this might be just as good with chicken as it is with tuna.
