I don't usually use recipes using canned soup, but who could resist this old classic. It was a childhood favorite for me and it is with my kids too. We all loved it as a matter of fact!

Hey Carol, this is definitely a 5 STAR recipe! My husband and I so enjoyed it. I also liked that it wasn't dry, but very creamy. I did add 1 (12 oz.) can of tuna, plus I added 1 tsp. garlic powder, 3 Tbsp. of parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup of sour cream, 1/2 tsp. each seasoned salt & pepper, and a (2 oz.) jar of pimiento(s). I didn't have any celery or green peppers, so I added about (8 oz.) of slightly cooked peas & carrots, as they were from a frozen bag. I did not add the 2 Tbsp. of butter to the noodles, cause I already added 1 Tbsp. of butter to the boiling water when I cooked the noodles. I topped the casserole with 15 (generic) ritz crackers, and topped the crushed crackers with 2 Tbsp. of melted butter. I think this dish would taste great using other canned soups, such as: cream of chicken with herbs, or cream of chicken & mushroom soup. I plan on substituting other vegetables for the celery & green peppers, such as: either corn or canned mushrooms. Thank you Carol for sharing this recipe. This recipe is definitely a keeper!!
