This was good, but labor intensive. Didn't really taste better than my usual recipe for tuna casserole (using good-quality organic canned cream of mushroom). Maybe I should have doctored the sauce as the other reviewers did.

Pretty good as a base recipe, as others have said. My changes: ~Skipped the mushrooms (didn't have any in the house, I bet they make it better.) ~Cooked the onion/celery/garlic mixture until the onions began to caramelize, to add more flavor to the dish. ~Skipped the cheddar because it tends to get give baked dishes a slick, greasy feel when used as a topping. Had I any Gruyere in the house I would have used it, I bet it would work perfectly. ~Used one pouch of tuna instead of two cans, the flavor of the pouch tuna is far superior. ~Substituted panko bread crumbs for regular bread crumbs. Everything that calls for regular bread crumbs has a better texture with panko. It came out delicious, even to my picky palate.

I liked the recipe very much--although, I did add some chix boullion and thyme to the roux. Very tasty--will make again.

Really good. I did omit the peas and celery. I just don't like them. I also added a dash of cheyanne pepper with the salt and pepper. Lastly I wanted some cheddar in the sauce so I put half of the cheese in after the noodles then toppped it with the remaining cheese. It was a hit. I will never use Tuna Helper again.

I really liked what "cookingardner" said about adding the herbs and nutmeg...true foodie! Overall, this is a nice, basic recipe that you can make your own.

I liked this and will make it again. I forgot to put the tuna in, by the way, and it still tasted good.

I aggree - way better than with soup, and with less sodium. I think the sauce needs a little more milk so leftovers (if there are any!) won't be dry on day two.

I've made this recipe for my family now several times, and it's always a hit! I enjoy cooking from scratch, and after making this, I will never use a tuna noodle recipe that calls for canned soup.

I'm giving this 4 stars because, as a base recipe, I think it's really good. However, as some viewers pointed out, it needs more flavor as is. I took advice from other reviews and used extra virgin olive oil and chicken base/bouillon. I used 6 tbsp e.v. olive oil to put in the recipe and then 2 tbsp of butter to mix with the bread crumbs as the recipe says. I had to add more salt right before I baked it. I forgot to add my chicken base in the sauce when I was cooking it so I mixed a heaping tsp (equals to a little over a bouillon cube) of chicken base. Next time, (oh yes! there will be a next time!) I'll try to remember to mix it in the sauce while I'm cooking it and I may add 1 1/2 to 2 tsps of it. I do realize substituting olive oil for butter makes a difference in the flavor, but even if I had used a whole stick of butter, it would've needed a bit more seasoning. Overall, great recipe!

I loved it. My family loved it. And the best thing...no MSG. I am highly sensitive and keep looking for ways to cook from scratch. I used my own chicken stock (from scratch instead of anything granule or canned) and soda crackers. Next time, I'll throw in what ever veggies are left over.

This was sooo yummy! We couldn't stop eating this. The only thing I did differently is to omit mushrooms (as I had none) and substitute green and red bell peppers. I did add a little more milk, also.

This recipe has some promise. I liked the home made cream base, as opposed to the typical canned soup, however, we felt it lacked flavor. If I make this again, I will add more herbs. As listed, we felt the recipe flavor was rather boring.

This was fantastic! We only used 3 cans of tuna instead of 4 in a double batch. My kids had 3 helpings each and asked for the leftovers for breakfast! A definate "do again". My husband asked me to try making it once with chicken too.

This tastes great! In the past I have used the cream of mushroom soup, but never again. I used about 4-5 oz of penne pasta as that is what we had, and it was great. I would love some suggestions though about how to cut down on the butter a little. The topping is wonderful too.
