My mom never made tuna noodle casserole, either, but I tried it as an adult and quite like it. I do a white sauce instead of the cream of mushroom soup, though, usually. Unless I have cream of something soup lying around, but I usually don't.
Ooh, I could make that with shirataki noodles, or something close enough. Some time in the future.
I just use regular pasta. And today I didn't have cream of mushroom soup, so I made a roux. And I added black olives because I did have those and the SO haaaaates olives. And I thought I had panko, but I didn't, but I did have rye toast crackers so I banged those against the counter until the dog came running to the kitchen looking at me all worriedly. So, really, not like tuna noodle casserole at all. But it had tuna! and noodles! And was in a casserole dish, so never mind, it was totally valid tuna noodle casserole. And yummy, and will last me quite a while by myself.
My mom made it with tuna, potato chips and cream of mushroom soup. The chips are mostly crunched in with the tuna and soup with a bit left over to sprinkle on top. Horryfying, but one of my faves when I was a kid.
Ugh, just going out to the movies and grocery shopping yesterday afternoon dropped me into a heat-sapped "nap" that lasted from 6pm to 5 this morning. I guess I can chalk up sleeping through dinner as a dieting win?
Burrell, what other kind of noodle casserole is there? I mean, I guess I've had other noodle casseroles, just not called that. In my head, tuna is the only noodle casserole! The thing with chicken and broccoli (eg) is totally different.
Between thunder and my stupid cat, I did not sleep well. Ugh!
3 minutes in, first derailing of the morning conference call.
Now we're debating the meaning of the word "defer."
Well, that sounds important. And necessary, I'm sure.
That sounds delish, Liese.
Do not want to go to work today. Would much rather sleep.
Good lord, Dana.
Y'all can have all the tuna casserole. Gack!
