“Tuna fish is always an excellent standby when you need supper on the table in a hurry. You’ll love this main-dish casserole packed with peas, peppers and onions. Not fond of tuna? Simply substitute chicken instead!” Edie DeSpain - Logan, Utah

This recipe was very good and it totally satisfied my craving for high fat comfort food without feeling too guilty! I will definitely be putting this in the rotation. The dish has a lot of flavor, but it does have that diet food taste to it. Just a fair warning. I may have thrown in a little more onion than what was called for and I hit it with the broiler for a few extra minutes of cooking time at the end to brown the bread crumbs. Very good!!

quick and easy. basic comfort food. at suggestion i used 1/2 cup of milk and it seemed to do the trick and was moist and creamy.

Flavor was good, but it was too dry. I would definitely use more milk next time. I also omitted the green pepper. Added worchestire sauce, black pepper and cheddar cheese.

I make double and freeze half.(cook egg noodles less for freezing) I also omit the green peppers since I don't like them..

I made this for the first time recently, and my family enjoyed it. However, we all felt it was too dry, so I would add more milk and soup next time. My family doesn't like mushrooms, so I substituted cheddar cheese soup instead. I also didn't add the peppers. I think next time I will add 1/2 can more soup and more sour cream and milk to make it moister. Good flavors.

This is a really good comfort food recipe...Mom used to make tuna noodle casserile when I was a kid. I used whole grain egg noodles and reduced fat club crackers. Can't wait to enjoy the leftovers!
