Description

This classic comfort food dish combines tender egg noodles with flaked tuna, celery, and green peppers in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce. The addition of sour cream adds a tangy depth that balances the savory soup base, while the Ritz cracker topping provides a satisfying crunch. It is a perfect weeknight dinner that feels indulgent yet simple to prepare. Ideal for feeding a crowd or satisfying big appetites, this casserole delivers warm, home-style flavors in every bite. The vegetables add a nice textural contrast to the soft noodles and fish, making it a well-rounded meal that is both nostalgic and deeply satisfying for the whole family.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Cook egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until tender; drain well.
  3. Toss the hot drained noodles with the butter to coat and prevent sticking.
  4. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, and salt.
  5. Add the chopped onion, sliced pimiento, chopped green bell pepper, and chopped celery to the saucepan.
  6. Stir the mixture frequently and cook for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is smooth.
  7. Fold the flaked tuna into the creamy vegetable mixture until evenly distributed.
  8. Combine the tuna mixture with the buttered noodles in the saucepan, stirring gently to mix.
  9. Pour the entire mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish and spread evenly.
  10. Break the Ritz crackers into large pieces and sprinkle them evenly over the top of the casserole.
  11. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the crackers are golden brown.
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
