Tuna Noodle Casserole With Peas Recipe Tips and Serving Suggestions

You can make this recipe lower in fat by using reduced fat cream soup along with skim milk and either reduce or omit the cracker and butter topping. Skim milk is often the only milk that I have on hand and I find that it works well in most casserole dishes.

If you are worried about sodium you can omit the salt and choose a low sodium version of cream of mushroom soup.

This is a great main dish meal but can easily be stretched to serve more people by adding a few extra side dishes.

Tuna fish casserole is not only an economical meal, it is one of those meals that can be put together with pantry staples that you may already have on hand. In fact, you should keep these ingredients on hand for those nights that you just don’t know what to make for dinner.

For a different twist on a classic tuna noodle casserole try it with chicken instead! We like this easy chicken noodle casserole, which calls for similar ingredients.
