Aaah, the tuna noodle casserole. You hated, you loved it, you had to do it to your own kids. First there is the economy of it. Where else can you pack protein and vitamin for such a fair price? I dunno', pizza? But even that gets old. No it really doesn't I'm lying. Then there's the ease. Who doesn't need easy somedays?
I am going to try to do this a new way, bear with me. First, a photo of my ingredients:
All obtained at Dollar Tree, minus the peas, which I forgot, but the can is much larger that the dollar tree carries. Also to not in this instance they had in large tuna cans, 7 oz. so that is super. Aside from the case sale when Kroger has cans .50 each this is the best deal I know of (if you have an Adli's good too). The crackers are plenty but once in a while they get the noraml sized box, in which case I would not use a whole box.
Boil your noodles on the low side of the instructions.(7-9, do 7). Drain nicely and rinse if you prefer that (generally noodles should not be rinsed).
Stir in a very big bowl, drained tuna, cream soups, noodles. Add peas toward the end of the stirring so you don't mash 'em. Dump it in a pan, crush crackers and sprinkle over and cook for twenty minutes at 350. Mmmmm.... good.

- 1 package noodles
2 different cream soups
2 cans of tuna
1 can of peas
1 small box of crackers
salt and pepper to taste
Some yummy stuff you can add:
Worcestire, yes it adds a nice ting with about a quarter cup, and is available at....I won't even say it.
Capers, Ohmyyum, they add somethign good to it! Very rare at the *ahem*.
Onions
Celery
Broccoli florets
Oh man sprinkle some cheese in with the crackers.... Make sur eif you buy Dollar tree cheese you are completely aware of what it is. Cheese can be, er, impeding, but fake cheese will send you to the er,eek!
Also carrrots. I do not care for canned carrots, but that would be the proper kind. Cooking them yourself would not only ruin the idea of quick and easy, they'd probably be too fresh and hard.
