One of my childhood favorites. My Mom made it even better than all the other mothers because she used potato chips in it.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb bag of broad egg noodles shopping list
  • 1 large can of cream of mushroom soup and the same size can of milk plus 1 more cup shopping list
  • 2 large cans of tuna (I prefer light instead if white) drained shopping list
  • 1 large bag of salted potato chips crushed shopping list
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper shopping list

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Cook the egg noodles according to the directions on the bag
  • Combine the cream of mushroom soup with a can of milk
  • Crumble the drained tuna.
  • In a bowl combine all of the above with 3/4 of the bag of the crushed potato chips and the salt and pepper.
  • Place in a buttered casserole dish
  • Sprinkle remaining chips on the top
  • Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes

    I made this a couple nights ago. We really liked it. The only thing I did wrong is think that it would be too much milk so I left some out and that made it too dry. So Follow the directions exactly. hehe

    You know my kid makes her tuna casserole just like this and it tastes better than mine. Must be the potato chip! Good comfort food and I'm always happy when someone else does the cooking.

    My mom always made tuna casserole with potato chips. She died when I was a teenager and this is one of those recipes that wasn't written down. I'll be making this sometime soon and it will truly be comfort food. Thanks for sharing.
