I mean just look at that topping! I could go on and on about it, but the good news is that the actual casserole below is just as worth rattling on about. I’ve had plenty of cracker crumb toppings before but the way this one mingles with the nutty Parmesan cheese is not to be missed. Ingredients Three 5 ounce cans of albacore tuna in water, drained 16 ounces German Egg Spaetzle Farmer-Style noodles or wide egg noodles, cooked al dente 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided 1 cup crimini mushrooms, chopped 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 large shallot. It gets nice and bubbly in the oven, but the topping gets delightfully golden brown and crisp. It heads into a casserole dish and gets topped with a mixture of Ritz cracker crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Tuna Noodle Casserole is a hearty classic dish that is total weeknight comfort food fare made with pantry staple ingredients like canned tuna, pasta, cheese, and a crunchy, buttery breadcrumb topping.
Then come the hearty bits – like white rice, canned tuna, green peas – and some sour cream to up the creaminess factor. That thickens up the milk that you stir in next, along with a bit of cheddar cheese. You simply start by sauteeing some onions in butter before stirring in some flour and cooking it just until the flour taste is gone.
Add the onion mixture to a large bowl with the mushroom soup, evaporated milk, and peas and toss well then carefully mix in the tuna and noodles. Instead of the cream of whatever soup you often find in tuna casseroles, this bake relies on a roux-based sauce for its creaminess. In a frying pan add the canola oil on medium heat and cook the onion and celery for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent. This recipe uses a quick creamy homemade sauce and no canned soup at all, and while that might draw you in, you’ll stay for the crispy, buttery cracker crumb topping. It’s a creamy bake that uses an easy pantry protein, just like the noodle version, but here the comforting carbs come in the form of tender long-grain white rice. It seems like moms everywhere have always been big on Tuna Noodle Casserole as a comfort food staple, but Tuna Rice Casserole deserves its share of the limelight too.
