Hi everyone, welcome back to the kitchen and today we're gonna remake an old favorite. We're gonna revisit tuna noodle casserole
I had actually this is our third
go-around with this recipe
Because I have literally made it I think four times on this channel and it has just stood the test of time
But the last incarnation was not great quality not great sound quality
And I was a little bit in need of an attitude adjustment
So we're gonna go ahead and remake this today and I cannot wait to share how this all comes together
We're gonna remake the tuna casserole video today and that is because the last video that was posted of tuna casserole was made in
2012 I think and
It's old and the quality isn't that great? The sound is definitely lacking and I was kind of a little ugly in that video
So I'm gonna remake it because we don't need to put that negative attitude out there
So we're gonna go ahead and redo it today and I hope that you'll enjoy
So this is my classic tuna. Noodle casserole. It is a very huge throwback. This is definitely a
Retro recipe if there ever was one
Tuna casserole is something we always had
Growing up, but my mom's version is very different from this one
and this one is actually from my ex-husband's mother and
It is superior to my own mother's tuna casserole by a long shot
So what you're gonna start with is one
Regular size bag of extra white egg noodles. I have already boiled them and they're ready to go
We're gonna do an 8 ounce can of sliced mushrooms
For 5 ounce cans of albacore. Tuna that
You leave the juice in you're gonna use everything, you know, don't drain it
I have one regular sized can of cream of celery soup
One regular sized can of cream of mushroom soup and about a cup of chopped black olives
Now you're gonna look at that and go. Oh those olives don't look black. They kind of look Brown and that would be correct
these are the kind of olives that I have really been enjoying lately and
And that is because they don't use chemicals to make them
Black they don't use artificial anything. These are ripen on the vine or on the tree
they're hand-picked and then they're processed and brined and they're delicious and
You can find these in the aisle where they sell the pickles at your grocery store
That's all that's in this casserole and it's super delicious. So really we're just gonna get started by mixing everything up
I like to use the pot I boil the noodles in because that saves a mixture of dirty Bowl
Just go ahead and put your cream of soup in the pot now look
You guys know that you are not going to see me use cream of soups
very often that are right out of a can this is
One of the exceptions there are a couple. I just don't like them. I don't use them very often
There is another recipe I use a can of cream soup in
That we like a lot as a family and I'll have to share that with you one of these days
I think you'll enjoy it. It's just like an herbed chicken and you make it on the top of the stove in a skillet. So
We're gonna go ahead and pop in all
Of this stuff. I like to mix up the sauce
First and then
Vlad knows
Awesome
Mix this up
And you don't have to flake the tuna a whole lot
Just break it up a little sometimes those nice big chunks are a wonderful bite
When you bake up the casserole now, I have my oven preheating at 350. This is just gonna stay in there for
About a half an hour until it's nice and bubbly. This is super simple. This is like basic home Eckford
This is what you're gonna learn how to make in home economics class
And I have four cups of chair cheese here and we're gonna use half of it in the sauce. I
Do not put peas in mind because they know P is going in my tuna casserole
You absolutely can if you want that's up to you
My mom never put peas in hers and David's mom never put peas in hers either so
All right. So now as you can imagine the next step is to put this
The noodles in here and give everything a good toss now
Here is where you may or may not wish to add some milk and I think I'm gonna do that
Get this a good toss
And I'm gonna have that milk I have poured myself about a cup of milk
If you like your tuna casserole a little saucy, err then I have made mine today
Feel free to add an extra can of cream of soup either the mushroom or the celery or both if you like
It's up to you. This is how we like it. I don't like it to be like runny when we spoon into it
But if you like yours that way, you should totally make yours the way you love it
Alright, I'm going to tip this into our casserole dish
Often I will use a foil pan to do this just because it's easy and this is a really great
Casserole to take to a potluck. It's a great casserole to share with a family in need and
they're quick to put together and
You can make this in advance and freeze
It if you want to do that
What you're gonna do now is just top this with cheese and then you're gonna wrap it and put it in the freezer
If you're gonna do that
I would recommend putting this in a foil pan because just makes everything so much easier
Then just take the rest of your cheese and sprinkle it over the top
I like to make sure the cheese is as even as possible
It's gonna melt so it's not like imperative that it completely cover the entirety of the casserole
So don't worry about that too much. Just just make sure it's as even as possible
we're gonna pop this in a 350 degree oven for about
25 to 30 minutes or until it's bubbly and you might see a little brownness on the top
the cheese is all melted and beautiful and then we're gonna take it out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes at
Which time we will return and I will fix you a plate of this
delicious
throwback retro classic tuna noodle casserole
There you have it
Classic retro tuna noodle casserole. This will take it right back to your kitchen table on
1975
This is to me one of the best tuna
Noodle casserole is I have come across and as a side note, like I said
this is my ex-mother-in-law stress opee and it is just that good my mom used to make tuna casserole a very
Different way she would use a box of macaroni and cheese
She would cook it up and make it according to the box add a can of tuna some black olives and some mushrooms
Put it in a casserole dish with crushed potato chips on top and you could do that here, too
And it would be amazing
but it wasn't the best it wasn't the worst and we all liked it because that's all we knew when I married my
Ex-husband and he said that's not tuna casserole when I made it for him the first time
He told me how his mom made it and that is how I've made it ever since
Do you wanna taste it even though you know how good it is already?
we always heat this with
stewed tomatoes and green beans and this is like the most ultimate
Pantry meal you could ever ever come up with
Because literally everything comes out of your pantry except for a little bit of milk a bag of noodles
2 cans of soup a can of mushrooms a can of black olives
Well, there's some cheese and some milk in here, but that's all good
And even the side dish is a can of green beans
this is the only time I use canned green beans and a can of stewed tomatoes and
This is just our favorite way to enjoy tuna casserole the the tomatoes and the green beans really add a lovely
Acidic note to this meal. There you go, babe
We only have this a couple times a year, but this will last us for two dinners
So if you're a smaller family or maybe a couple you might want to put this in two containers
I often will you know put this in two separate containers freeze one cook one and then have it ready
There's always better fresh, but it's not bad leftover. So keep that in mind. I hope you enjoyed today's
