4 Ingredient Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipe

Posted by

I recently participated in Social Nature’s campaign for Wild Planet Skipjack Tuna, a sustainable, non-GMO, 2 ingredient canned tuna product. According to Wild Planet’s website, Skipjack tuna is low in mercury compared to other varieties. Each can is packed in water and sea salt. I got to try a can of Skipjack tuna from Wild Planet and initially had no clue what to do with it since I mainly use tuna pouches for simple sandwiches. Then I stumbled upon some recipes from cooks.com for tuna noodle casserole where I took inventory of my pantry and brainstormed my own version!

Bread crumbs, tuna, cream of mushroom soup, and macaroni and cheese for tuna noodle casserole

This tuna casserole contains only 4 ingredients: boxed macaroni and cheese, a can of tuna, a can of cream-based soup, and milk. For about $5, this makes an ideal quick dinner for 3-4 people.

You don’t need a giant box of macaroni and cheese to make this. A simple 6 to 7 ounce box will do. Prepare the pasta according to the box’s directions. Don’t forget the cheese packet!

I drained the can of tuna and used a fork to flake the fish. Some people like bigger chunks; the choice is up to you.

Once the macaroni and cheese is ready, add the contents of the canned tuna along with a can of creamed soup (I used mushroom). I mixed everything together and added it to a 2 quart greased baking dish. Top it with breadcrumbs and/or shredded cheese and into the oven it goes!

The casserole was pure comfort. It was cheesy but not overly fishy. That’s what I like the most about Wild Planet’s Skipjack tuna; the smell is very mild compared to other tuna brands I’ve tried. The crumb topping gave nice texture to the creamy noodles.
