Dolittle: This is my mom's recipe for Tuna Noodle Casserole. I don't usually care for tuna casserole, but this one is really good.
Baked Tuna & Noodles
1 T. butter 1/4 c. finely chopped onion 1/4 c. finely chopped green pepper (I also use red and yellow peppers) 1 jar (4 oz) mushrooms (I use fresh mushrooms that I saute and drain before adding to onion and peppers) 2 cans tuna, drained 1 pkg, 6 oz, noddles, cooked 1 med tomato, chopped 1 T lemon juice 1/2 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper 3/4 cup Best Foods mayo <span>1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated (I use more cheese)
Melt butter and saute onion, peppers and mushrooms for 5 minutes. Stir together with tuna, tomato, lemon juice, mayo and seasonings. Add cooked noodles, mix well. Turn into 2 quart casserole dish. Top with <span>grated cheese. Bake uncovered in 350* oven for 30 minutes. Serves 6.
Indriel: that one looks very similar to the one I use but instead of the mayo,I use sour cream....and the tomatoe...that is a wonderful addition!! I will try that!
Indriel:thanks, that is a nice recipe...I'm going to try it with a dash of minced roasted garlic and some grated jalapeno peppers mixed in ... I really like a toasted tuna sandwich and cheddar cheese on sour dough bread with garlic butter as my grilling agent on the bread...
