Anyone have a standard, easy recipe for tuna noodle casserole?

And if you do, can it be frozen, for how long?Anyone have a standard, easy recipe for tuna noodle casserole?
Yes, it can be frozen, wrapped well or in a Tupperware for several months. Do not bake before freezing, and thaw before baking.





Basic recipe:


1-16oz bag wide egg noddles, cooked and drained


2 cans tuna, drained


1 can cream of mushroom soup, not diluted


1 cup frozen peas


salt and pepper to taste


crushed potato chips or crushed saltines





Mix all together, pour into a casserole dish and cover top with crushed potato chips or crushed saltines. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 min. till heated through.





FANCIER RECIPE


In addition to above ingredients, you will need:


1 cup frozen corn instead of peas


8oz shredded sharp cheddar


1-2 tsp dried dill weed (to taste)


dried breadcrumbs


paprika





Make as above, except substitute frozen corn for peas, add dill weed to taste, and half the cheese. After pouring mixture into casserole dish, top with the rest of the cheese and enough dried breadcrumbs to cover. Sprinkle with paprika and bake as usual till heated through and top has formed a melted cheese crust. If freezing casserole, leave off breadcrumbs and paprika till ready to bake. Thaw before baking.

Enjoy %26amp; have a good night. :0)


P.S. can be frozen for six month's but when you reheat just nuke it(microwave) %26amp; resprinkle with chips.
What you need:





1 pound of egg noodles cooked according to package directions


2 eight ounce cans of tuna fish


1 cup of mayonnaise


1 large onion, chopped


1 large green pepper, chopped


2 cloves of garlic, finely minced


2 tomatoes, chopped and seeded


1 1/2 - 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese


3 tablespoons of olive or canola oil


Butter for greasing casserole dish


What you do:





Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Boil noodles according to package directions. Place cooked noodles into a bowl and add one tablespoon of butter or margarine and toss noodles. This will prevent your noodles from sticking. Heat frying pan under medium heat for one minute and then add olive or canola oil.


Add chopped onion and pepper, tomatoes, and garlic. Cook until the onions appear translucent, about 10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.


Mix tuna, mayonnaise, and cooked vegetables in a large bowl. Butter baking pan or casserole dish. Add noodles and tuna/veggie mixture. Toss lightly to combine. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.


Cover with aluminum foil and bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.


i have frozen this dish for 3 months and its been ok
Cook your egg noodles, when done, drain them, add one can of cream of chicken soup, one or two cans of tuna (depending on how much you like) and mix it all up. Put it in a baking dish, and then crumble up Corn Flakes cereal and put it on top of the casserole. Bake it at about 375 for about 30-45 minutes. Very simple recipe. You can also jazz it up a bit and add in shredded cheddar cheese (about 1 cup) and about 1/2 cup of sour cream. These last two are optional. Hope this helps. I wouldn't freeze it though. Tuna being a fish won't taste that good thawed out. If you do freeze it, I wouldn't do it for more than just a couple of days or so.
When my son was about 15 he an a friend put together a tuna casserole one afternoon, I was working and they were hungry. I was impressed. They used what I had on hand, things they were familiar with and did it all without direction. They just about eaten it all by the time I got home, but had saved me a taste. We sat down right then and recorded their recipe. To this day when my son comes home for a visit, we always make HIS tuna casserole recipe.
