1/27/04** Thanks Carol for submitting this new recipe!  Can't wait to try it!

Note from Carol:  "Sometimes I feel like I don't have time to turn on the oven, let alone cook. One day I needed supper asap. I decided to make mac & cheese. While the water was heating, I decided that wouldn't quite do. So I looked in the cupboard and saw mushroom soup, which by the way is good if you add it to mac & cheese when you add the milk, cheese mix, & butter (don't add extra milk, just soup out of the can.) Then I thought of more. I call it: "Carol's Cheating TNC" (tuna noodle casserole.)"

"Carol's Cheating TNC"
(Tuna Noodle Casserole)

Ingredients:

  • 1 box mac & cheese prepared according to box directions, except add all ingredients when you add milk, cheese mix & butter

  • 1-2 cans tuna in water, undrained

  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 can peas, drained or "some" frozen peas

Directions:

  • Heat on stove top and serve.

Note from Linda:  Some time ago, I made tuna noodle casserole for dinner.  I had put the casserole in the oven to bake and started cleaning up the kitchen (I'm a messy cook - ha-ha!)  While cleaning up, I found the can of tuna that I had completely forgot to include in the recipe.  Guess what!  The dinner turned out just fine and now I make some of these recipes and leave out the tuna on purpose!

Tuna Noodle Casserole
Linda & Rich's Version - Healthy

Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg. No-Yolk Noodles
  • 1 can Campbell's Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 soup can skim milk
  • 1 pkg. frozen oriental stir-fry veggies
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can tuna, drained & flaked
  • Splash of Worcestershire Sauce
  • Sprinkle of bread crumbs
  • Optional:  Shredded cheese of your choice

This is an easy meal to make with ingredients you probably have on hand already.  Uses a lot of dishes, but they are easy to clean.  Tasty meal even if you don't care for tuna 'cause we only use one can and sometimes omit the tuna completely.  Enjoy!

Oh, a friend of mine substitutes the bread crumbs with crushed potato chips.  That's tasty, too!

Directions:
Cook noodles according to package directions.  While water starts to boil for noodles and during cooking, saute onions and place frozen veggies in pan of water to simmer while you're preparing everything else.  In another pan, prepare soup with skim milk.  Add Worcestershire Sauce to soup. Add sauteed onions to soup.  Drain noodles and place in the largest bowl you have as mixing the ingredients well is important.  Pour soup mixture into noodles and stir.  Pour about 1/2-cup to 3/4 cup of water in pan that you cooked soup in to use what remains on side of pan.  Pour into mixture.  Add tuna. Mix well.  If you care to add a little cheese, add now and mix well again.  Drain oriental vegetables and add to noodle mixture.  Mix well.  Pour into 9 x 13 baking pan or casserole dish.  Sprinkle top with a little more cheese (if desired) and with bread crumbs. I always have enough left over to make a smaller pan, too which I freeze for another quick meal.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake in 350 over for about 1/2-hour.

A Little Bit of Tuna Humor...
    
Samuel was a good and pious man, and when he passed away, the Lord himself greeted him at the pearly gates of Heaven.
     "Hungry, Samuel?" the Lord asked. 
     "I could eat," said Samuel. The Lord opened a can of tuna, and they shared it. 
      While eating this humble meal, Samuel looked down into Hell and noticed the inhabitants devouring enormous steaks, pheasant, pastries and vodka. 
      The next day, the Lord again asked Samuel if he was hungry, and Samuel again said, "I could eat." Once again, a can of tuna was opened and shared, while down below Samuel noticed a feast of caviar, champagne, lamb, truffles, brandy and chocolates.
     The following day, mealtime arrived and another can of tuna was opened. Meekly, Samuel said, "Lord, I am very happy to be in Heaven as a reward for the good life I lived. But, this is Heaven, and all I get to eat is tuna. But in the Other Place, they eat like Kings. I just don't understand."
     "To be honest, Samuel," the Lord said, "for just two people, does it pay to cook?"
