Tuna casserole is one of the easiest recipes to make and is perfect on a cold winter day. Egg noodles and tuna happen to be two of my son’s favorite foods but he usually does not like his food all mixed together. This time when I made this particular recipe, I kept it simple and didn’t add any vegetables. Some add mushrooms, peas or broccoli but I wasn’t going to push my luck. I kept it simple with noodles, tuna and cheese.

For those of you who have kids that don’t like their food touching, you know what I mean!

Tuna Casserole

I personally love the idea of doctoring this recipe up with vegetables so next time, I am going to try it. Maybe my little man will decide to try it.

Pretty simple right? This is a perfect meal for during the week and if you double the recipe, you will definitely have leftovers.

A couple weeks ago while shopping in HomeGoods, I came across a few baking dishes that were oven safe, dishwasher safe, microwave and freezer safe and decided I needed them! -ha. This white baking dish is my favorite as it’s perfect for casseroles, pretty and versatile. I love baking dishes that I can mix everything in, bake it and then store it in the fridge or freezer. So much less to wash!

One thing that I love about this tuna casserole recipe is that you can make a large pan of it and have plenty for leftovers. My son actually loved this recipe, even though everything was mixed together. Hopefully this is a sign that he is growing out of the need for all the food to be separate and not touching each other! He isn’t a picky eater but for some reason, that bothers him. Looking for more quick easy recipes? Check out our Food page.
