This was a nice change of pace from my typical tuna casserole. I did make some changes though. I didn't make the mac and cheese as directed before adding the other ingredients. I cooked the noodles and then after draining, I returned the noodles to the pot with about a half cup each of diced celery and onion. I sprinkled the powdered cheese over the mixture and then used a half cup of buttermilk to dissolve the powdered cheese. Also, I mixed in the shredded cheddar instead of topping the casserole with it. Then, about ten minutes before serving I topped it with crushed potato chips because I think any casserole is better with a crunchy top! The results were very creamy and delicious.

I was out of cream of celery and cream of mushroom, so I used cream of chicken with some celery chopped up. It was delicious, I know that this will be a meal we want often. Thank you for this recipe.

I never liked tuna noodle casserole till this one. I added some jalapeno jack cheese, pimentoes and peas to the mix. Oh, and I sprinkled doritoes on top and then put the whole thing in the oven. :o)

This was good, but it tastes just like tuna chesse helper. I get hamburger helper on sale for 0.75 and just to buy the cream of celery soup for this recipe was $1.20. So it makes more sense to make tuna helper, which is cheaper and only dirty's 1 pan.

I was looking for a quick and easy supper and this filled the bill nicely. It was so good and creamt! I used cream of mushroom instead of cream of celery, It was fabulous. The extra cheese on the top was the perfect touch.

I never make any other tuna casserole as they just don't taste as good as this.

I make this except I don't put in the extra cheese. I may try that though as you can't ever have too much cheese!
