Tuna Casserole

Obviously this is a new blog so I'm still decorating and setting up housekeeping. I will try to post a new recipe every Sunday and Wednesday. Stay tuned for lots of yummy stuff!


I HATE tuna, so it's extremely rare you'll see a tuna recipe from me. I wish I liked it as it's healthy and cheap and my family loves it.

This is the one tuna recipe I can stand. It's also my youngest son's favorite meal which he requested for his last birthday dinner.

I like it because it's budget friendly, quick and easy to make, so it's one of my go to meals. I can stand it because I smother it with cheese, milk, oregano and garlic salt.

TUNA CASSEROLE

INGREDIENTS:

1 large can drained tuna
1 - 8 oz box cooked elbow macaroni noodles
16 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz evaporated milk (regular milk will work in a pinch)
Oregano, to taste
Garlic Salt, to taste
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.

Cook and drain macaroni noodles. Put in large 9 x 13" casserole dish.

Mix well with 1/2 cheddar cheese, all of tuna, and salt and pepper to taste.

Pour on evaporated milk. Toss well again.

Generously sprinkle oregano and garlic salt on top of noodles. Sprinkle with a tad more salt and pepper.

Layer evenly with remaining cheese.

Cover with foil and bake about 30 - 40 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Goes well with French bread or garlic bread.

French style green beans can be added if desired.  I usually omit them due to my husband's request.
