Tuna Noodle Casserole

If there were a poster child for comfort food, I’m pretty sure this recipe would be in the running to be included in that list. Whose mama and grandma didn’t make this stuff? It’s great because it uses mostly pantry staples. It’s economical, easy to make, and tastes great! I grew up eating the stuff with the cream of mushroom soup in it.

You can definitely omit the canned soup and make your own. You can find a recipe for your own cream of whatever soup HERE.   I like to serve it with a side salad, fruit and usually some type of bread.
