Tuna Noodle Casserole With Cream Cheese Recipe 45

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Mix cream cheese, 2 Tbsp. milk and garlic powder until blended. Combine noodles, tuna, peas, mushrooms and remaining milk in large bowl. Add cream cheese mixture; mix lightly. Spoon into 1-1/2-qt. casserole sprayed with cooking spray; cover.
• Bake 20 min. Meanwhile, mix cracker crumbs, Parmesan and butter until blended.
• Stir noodle mixture; top with crumbs. Bake, uncovered, 5 min. or until crumb topping is golden brown.

Steps:

• 1. Sauté mushrooms, garlic, onion and green peppers in fry pan. Put aside. Cook the 12 oz. large bag of noodles in salted water; drain. 2. Melt butter in large fry pan and blend in flour. blend together. Add milk slowly, cooking and stirring constantly. When sauce is thick and smooth, blend in cream cheese. Then add cooked noodles, and lastly the whole can of tuna with water, peas, peppers, onion and mushrooms combination. Season with salt and pepper to taste; pour into a large 9 x 12 greased baking dish. top with sharp cheese and then sprinkle French onions or breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese on top. 3. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Note: Make sure noodles are done before making sauce. The sauce gets too thick if it sits while waiting for noodles to cook. Make sure the sauce is really creamy before baking, if not it will be too dry when it is baked. To make sauce more creamy, add more milk to give it a good consistency. I like this recipe because it is made with cream cheese instead of cream of mushroom soup
