Today I'm serving up classic comfort food, Tuna Casserole with Egg Noodles. Tender egg noodles and mushroom soup mixed with albacore tuna, combined with shredded cheese, sliced mushrooms and fresh peas. The casserole is baked until hot and bubbly. Finishing it under the broiler makes the top is golden brown and crunchy. It's a mouthwatering meal your family will love!
Hey, it's Deb again from Bowl Me Over, stopping by to share another delicious meal! You'd think since it's mid-April I'd be grilling up some good eats for you, but even here in Fresno, it's been cold and rainy. Frankly, that got me to be craving an easy meal. Nothing complicated and this certainly fits the bill!
Truthfully, I was feeling sorry for myself too. In March I had eye surgery. A tube that was inserted into the tear duct a few years ago needed to be adjusted. The surgery went well and yesterday I went back to the doctor for a routine recheck, only to need surgery again. Ahhhh... So you see? Comfort food was definitely in order. I moped around the house for a couple of hours until I broke out my Mom's famous quote... "It is what it is!" Whining about it wouldn't change anything so I buckled down.
Everyone needs an easy meal like this to put together because it's all about pantry staples. It's a great meal when you don't know what to cook and don't feel like going to the store. Look in your pantry & frig, I'm sure you'll have everything you need!

What, no bread crumbs? Substitute with potato chips, crushed pretzels, or a can of fried onions. I didn't have bread crumbs either but dug thru the freezer and found some croissants that had been in there for ahem... a while. Into the food processor, they went and they were fabulous!
