My Favorite Tuna Noodle Casserole. I love to serve this dressed-up version of a tuna casserole. The green beans add nice texture, color and flavor. Mix bread crumbs with melted butter in bowl and sprinkle over tuna mixture.
I love Tuna Casserole, but I do admit to being very picky about it. I have searched far and wide for a recipe that I liked, and by-jove, I think I've got it. I do admit that one of my favorite tuna casseroles is "Stouffers Tuna Casserole". You can cook My Favorite Tuna Noodle Casserole using 12 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Tuna noodle casserole is one of our favorite comfort dishes in our home. Growing up I remember going to my grandma's house and she would always make this tuna casserole recipe or a version of hamburger casserole. I would always get so excited when I knew we were having tuna noodle casserole because it was always my favorite. Prep Noodles – First, boil the noodles until they are al dente and then drain them.; Mix Ingredients – In a large bowl, combine the noodles with the chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, peas, cream of mushroom soup and tuna. I also topped the casserole with a delicious crunchy topping made with Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika (<- quickly becoming my favorite pantry staple), fresh parsley, and, of course, a little butter for flavor and browning.
