GRANDMA'S TUNA CASSEROLE

I know it sounds crazy, but trust me, this tuna casserole is one of the yummiest things ever. Comfort food madness! Before this, Grandma had never written out this recipe. She doesn't measure anything when cooking this, but it must be tasted throughout.

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.
  • Mix cooked noodles with tuna, sour cream, 1/4 cup milk, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Lay 1/2 of the butter across the bottom of a 2-quart, microwave-safe casserole dish. Crush potato chips, then sprinkle 1/4 of the crushed chips over the bottom and press to flatten.
  • Spread the tuna-noodle mixture in a single layer over the crushed chips. Layer with 1/2 of the mozzarella, 2/3 of the remaining chips, followed by the remaining butter, chips, milk, and mozzarella.
  • Microwave on high until casserole is hot and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

GRANDMA'S TUNA CASSEROLE WITH POTATO CHIPS AND NO NOODLES

This is my grandma's recipe. My dad calls it "Toucan Tuna Casserole" because it uses two cans of everything. It is uncommon among tuna casserole recipes because it uses potato chips instead of noodles. Serve with Worcestershire sauce.

GRANDMA SMITH'S TUNA CASSEROLE

This is an easy to make creamy pasta dish, that I usually have all the ingredients for on hand. It is comfort food at it's best! My Grandma Smith raised 10 children on this recipe and my 3 year old loves it, very kid-friendly. I usually use whole wheat pasta for extra fiber and nutrition.

NOT YOUR MOMMA'S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

This fabulous Tuna-Noodle Casserole certainly isn't the one Mom used to make, but is just as comforting. This is based on a recipe found in the Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook, but altered to fit what was in my pantry at the time. While not as low in points and calories, this one is still a healthy alternative to classic Tuna Noodle Casserole.

NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S TUNA CASSEROLE

I love exploring with spices and ingredients, so this is something that I put together one night for my parents and myself. It's low sodium and has little to no dairy, so it is perfect for lactose intolerant people (or even those allergic to milk, if you take out the butter and substitute with more olive oil). I really like to...

  • 2. Add butter and evenly distribute it throughout the pan.
  • 3. Place each piece of tuna flat on the pan and let cook for about 3 minutes per side (slightly longer if not fully thawed).
  • 4. When tuna is finished, place on a plate and set aside.

  • 6. Add artichokes to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Be sure to stir often.

  • 9. Next add the tuna back into the pan and add the spices, being sure to cover both sides of the tuna.

GRANDMA'S HOT TUNA CASSEROLE

One night when I went to visit my dad, my grandma had made this tuna casserole for dinner. I had never had tuna casserole before and after tasting it, I fell in love. My sister and I asked for the recipe so we can make it ourselves at home. When we made it, it came out just as good as hers.
