Today, I’m going to teach you how to make this INCREDIBLY easy tuna casserole recipe. You most likely have all the ingredients available in your kitchen – and if not, they’re budget-friendly, super common, and you can easily add them to you next grocery list.

  • Penne rigate
  • Frozen peas
  • Canned tuna
  • Milk
  • Cream of mushroom
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Bread crumbs

How do I Prevent my Tuna Casserole From Drying Out?

It’s all about moisture! Make sure that your pasta is completely covered with the cream of mushroom and milk mixture (recipe below). Also, be sure to cover your casserole with aluminum foil for the required time.

What Should I Serve With my Tuna Casserole?

When it comes to casserole dinners, we never say no to a side of fresh salad or roasted veggies. These two options offer a great balance to offset any casserole, which is usually heavy in carbs.

  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 284mL can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • ½ cup bread crumbs

Add the casserole mixture into a casserole baking dish, about 7in x 10in in size. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake 11-13 minutes.

Remove casserole from oven and remove aluminum foil. Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese and bread crumbs. Without covering, return to oven for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
