I loved that you didn't have to use canned soup in this recipe. We love this all time favorite and my grandchildren ate like little piggies when they got their plates. I did add onion along with the mushrooms and peas, So good and total comfort food!

Such great comfort food in this deep freeze weather! I used 3 cans of solid albacore and the peas. We thoroughly enjoyed the creaminess! DH husband said it took him back to his childhood. Will be made again for sure! Thanks for sharing Dienia! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

Very good tuna and noodles and a bit different from the tuna noodle casserole we usually make. This makes a lot and was enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing!

Great comfort food. I used wide egg noodles and skipped the peas, but otherwise made as written, Easy, too!

Yummy yum yum this was great! Nothing like Tuna Noodle casserole when it's cold outside and you need a little comfort. I love that it's so easy and on the table pronto. I used white tuna packed in water but otherwise followed your ingredients. Love it with the peas and mushrooms!
