I love easy dishes you can make when you need something quick. This Cheesy Tuna Casserole is quick, easy comfort food at its best and I usually have the ingredients on hand.
3 cups uncooked medium pasta shells, cooked according to package directions for about 9 minutes and drained 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained 1/4 cup chopped onion (can use regular or green onions) 1 cup frozen green peas, drained (could use canned peas) 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 cup sour cream 1/2 cup milk 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 (4 ounce) can mushroom pieces, drained 1 cup shredded cheese (I used 4 cheese Mexican. You can use whatever kind you like) Cheese crackers (about one cup crumbled)
Cook pasta according to package directions for about 9 minutes, drain and set aside. Combine all remaining ingredients and mix with a spoon except cheese crackers. Mix in the pasta. Pour into a sprayed casserole dish and crumble cheese crackers on top. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven 35 to 40 minutes. Makes about 8 servings. Enjoy!

Tuna casserole is one of my favorites. Definitely intend to make this one. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I live alone and search for recipes that I can make once, freeze in small containers, and get several meals. Could this be prepared and placed in individual serving tins, frozen, then thawed and cooked?
Yes, I think you could do that Glenn.

Dear Miss Judy,
Your post today brought back many memories (all of them good, even when I accidentally up-ended my tuna casserole all over the oven door, lol!) We lived to tell the tale and the “scraped up parts” tasted just as good as the rest. 🙂 Just wanted you to know that you’ve “won” The Versatile Blogger Award. (see: http://alittlelunch.com/2012/03/24/march-gladness/ ) It’s a pleasure to recognize a true Southern lady!
Thank you so much Kimby. So happy you are a part of my site and thank you for the award. I will check it out. Have a great day.
Years ago when all the children were home
I use to make this.
It was quick and nutricious
Thank you for reminding of this simple recipe.
I always have tuna and pasta on hand…
