Description
Haven't had a tuna noodle casserole in years, but this cooking light recipes sounds so comforting with the mushrooms, peas, egg noodles and the ritz cracker topping. Couldn't resist posting this recipe. Note: i might try this with some red salmon in lieu of the tuna. Prep time does not include cooking time for noodles.
