Didn't have corn flakes, so put French fried onion rings on top-delicious!

This dish was fabulous! I'm not a fan of mushrooms so I added celery instead. It gave a nice touch to the recipe with a slight crunch. I also added onion powder as opposed to dried onion flakes. Maybe that gave it a bit more flavor? I will definitely be making this on a regular basis. Easy and delicious!

A must try! I read the reviews before doing this recipe and a couple of reviews negative. Hesitant I went ahead and tried this recipe and what a hit! My husband (who doesn't like things healthy) loved this dinner. Very closed to the taste of the original recipe. I will make this again.

Light, super easy to make, and yummy. Pack it for lunch to work or serve at dinner for your loved ones. This is not fine cuisine, but a comfy, quick, yummy dish. Loved it!!

I have been trying for years to get my 10 yr old son to eat Tuna Casserole because it's always been one of my favorites! Using the macaroni noodles instead of wide egg noodles did the trick! We all love it.

Made it tonite and didn't really care for it. Just no real personality, very so-so.

Sorry!

Love this recipe. I added a can of mixed veg and used egg noodles and bread crumbs instead of macaroni and cornflakes. YUM!

This was excellent! My family loved it . I did add sliced green onions and drizzled butter over the cornflakes. I also used regular cream of mushroom soup.

I thought this dish turned out quite good. I used canned mushrooms instead of fresh because of what I had on hand, but still tasted good. Will definitely be making again.
