Good tuna casserole recipe?

I am looking to find a tasty, easy tuna casserole recipe. Usually tuna casserole tastes bland to me, but I am not sure what I should use to spice/flavor it up. If you have any suggestions or a good recipe, let me know!Good tuna casserole recipe?
Our family recipes is 1 can of tuna, drained, 1 package of medium egg noodles, cooked, 1/2 jar of cheese-whiz, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, salt and pepper to taste. Mix it all together and bake at 350 degrees F for about 1/2 hour or until the top starts to brown up a little bit. The cheese-whiz gives it a little different flavor. I've been known to add a 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper to it, also.





It's comfort food for me. Hope this helps.Good tuna casserole recipe?

INGREDIENTS


1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup


1 cup milk


1 (9 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked


1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed


1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Divide the tuna mixture evenly between the tortillas, and roll up. Place rolls seam side down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the remaining soup over the rolls, and spread evenly using the back of a spoon. It will be a thin layer. Sprinkle the rest of the French fried onions over the soup, then the tomato, and finally the remaining Cheddar cheese. Cover with nonstick or lightly greased aluminum foil.


Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the aluminum foil, and bake for 5 more minutes to allow the cheese to melt and brown slightly.
