I love easy dishes you can make when you need something quick. This tuna casserole is quick, easy comfort food at its best and I usually have the ingredients on hand.
- 3 cups uncooked medium pasta shells, cooked according to package directions for about 9 minutes and drained
- 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped onion (can use regular or green onions)
- 1 cup frozen green peas, drained (could use canned peas)
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (4 ounce) can mushroom pieces, drained
- 1 cup shredded cheese (I used 4 cheese Mexican. You can use whatever kind you like)
- Cheese crackers (about one cup crumbled)
Cook pasta according to package directions for about 9 minutes, drain and set aside. Combine all remaining ingredients and mix with a spoon except cheese crackers. Mix in the pasta. Pour into a sprayed casserole dish and crumble cheese crackers on top. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven 35 to 40 minutes. Makes about 8 servings. Enjoy!
