Here is how you make Basic Tuna Casserole:

Decide if you want a lighter pasta or heavier, the more noodles you use, the "thicker" the casserole will be. I figured the nutritional values on the 16 oz. noodle count.Cook egg noodles in accordance with package directions, drain well. While noodles are cooking, mix well-drained tuna, sour cream, milk (and salt and pepper if you like). Mix the noodles into this tuna mixture and then stir in about half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix the remaining cheese together with bread crumbs and spread on top of casserole.Bake 35 minutes at 375 degrees in a medium size casserole dish (about 8 inches square and 5 inches deep is the one I use) and then allow to cool for about five minutes.Easily serves 6 people; serving size is approximately 1 1/2 cups or a full bowl.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LWYRBABE.
