Please share a good tuna casserole recipe without peas or noodles

I like short curly pasta instead of noodles, boiled per package directions, drained. Add an undiluted cream of whatever soup (mushroom or onion or celery). Add diced green onions, maybe canned mushrooms (stems & pieces, drained) or canned black olives (drained). An envelope of crushed dried hot red pepper, or else chopped drained jalapeno peppers (assuming you like a bit of spice). Add a drained can of tun. Heat at 350 (covered) 30 minutes -- then uncover, top with something crunchy like crushed potato chips or soda crackers or toasted bread crumbs tossed in melted butter, continue heating for 15 minutes.

The secret is serving it from the proper receptacle.

Use rice or potatoes instead of noodles or pasta.

You could try this...no pasta, just a shitload of cream, butter, and cheese

Suggestion — use medium size shell pasta, much better, and swap in some fine-chopped wilted (half-sauteed) baby spinach for the peas. Otherwise any recipe out there with 4.5 to 5 stars is probably a good one.

Tuna, canned chow mein, cream of mushroom soup, frozen French cut green beans. Carmelized onions on top. It’s actually pretty tasty.

I don’t have the recipe and it didnt pop up when I googled, but my mom used to make it, except with canned dried onions (those have a weird aftertaste). I would guess two cans of tuna, one 16 oz bag of frozen green beans (they have to be the skinny French cut ones), a 5 oz. can of chow mein noodles, and one can of mushroom soup are the right proportions.

^ tired searching again for the recipe (seems odd it wasn’t a common 1970’s recipe, mom was no cook), and realized chow mein is noodles. I’m no cook, either.

Sure, add mayo, black pepper, celery salt and onion powder. Stir. It's called Tuna Salad.

OP types POOR!

R9, OP *is* poor!

Single guy trying to manage rent and medical bills on a small salary.

Just kidding OP! 😀

I grill a proper cut of wild salmon and serve it with fresh peas and a small pasta salad on the side.

To assist some of the culinary apprentices here, pasta is considered a subset of noodles. "I use pasta instead of noodles" is senseless unless clarification is included.

My mother's "tuna noodle casserole" (no peas) had shell pasta in it. "It goes with the seafood" (oil-packed canned tuna)," she'd say.

I regret saying you type poor, OP.

I meant to say you type FAT.

Just kidding, R9.

Fry canned-tuna cakes made with chopped onion and parsley topped and bottomed with panko or cracker crumbs.

Serve with the sides of your choice.

Maybe OP is fat AND poor?

Cooked white rice, a couple cans of drained light tuna in water, onion powder or dehydrated, minced onion, can of cream of celery soup, butter, and half can of milk. Mix together, dump into baking dish, and bake for 20 minutes in a 375° oven. Top with cheese, if desired, and bake another 5-10 minutes.

This is one way I use up leftover rice. You can throw in a can of diced carrots or green beans if you want some vegetables or color. You can top with fried onions, too. We call this a “vómito”among my friends, but it is scarfed up quickly. Even my kid eats it.

It's August. Who wants to eat a tuna casserole in August?

Try tuna in a salad. Tuna, chickpeas, cucumbers, tomato, red onion, olive oil, salt, pepper.

Really guys... you eat shit made with canned soups?

^ Oh...and ONLY use dark meat tuna packed in olive oil.

None of that dry hideous, flavorless white tuna packed in water.

OP, what do you mean by “noodles?”

Pasta is noodles.

But do you drain the pasta? 🤔

Pasta is typically durum wheat shaped in Italian styles, while noodles are a broader category from other cultures using varied flours and textures.

Substitute cream cheese frosting for the cream of mushroom soup and raisins for the peas. Instead of noodles, fold in pretzels. Waa-laa! You have a pea-free and noodle free tuna casserole.

What is with all the canned food in these recipes? Gross.

Tuna, can of cream of,mushroom soup, potato chips layered in casserole and baked. This may have been the original.

Here you go OP ,! This makes 10 servings, however if we take into account DataLounge portions this would translate into 4 servings. I make this using salt free potato chips and low sodium cream of mushroom soup to bring down the salt level! Enjoy!
