Today I am sharing our easy cheesy tuna casserole recipe that is so yummy! Tuna casserole is one of the easiest recipes to make and is perfect on a cold winter day or even during the summer. Egg noodles and tuna happen to be two of my son’s favorite foods so the addition of cheese will be a huge hit with him. This time when I made this particular recipe, I kept it simple and didn’t add any vegetables. Many recipes on google or pinterest add mushrooms, peas or broccoli but I wasn’t going to push my luck. I kept it simple with noodles, tuna and cheese.

Notes
Tuna Casserole with Campbell’s Soup
Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup (in the can) is what will keep your egg noodles from drying out so don’t forget the soup!
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 cheesy tuna casserole recipe is that you can make a large pan of it and have plenty for leftovers. Not only is it delicious but also affordable! This is a great money saving meal for during the week and if eating as leftovers the next day, I tend to add a little water to the dish, mix and then reheat. Topping off with a little extra cheese isn’t a bad idea either! 🙂
