Tuna casserole is a bit of a North American classic comfort food where every family has their own unique take on it! Not my family though, my mom hasn’t made a tuna noodle casserole in her life, giving to the fact that neither of my parents even eat tuna (she did try to torture us with salmon loaf though, bleh!) So this dish was one I didn’t try until adulthood but quickly found my favourite way of making it!
This Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole recipe is an awesome, cheesy version with not a pea in site! It does however have sauteed mushrooms and onions, crunchy celery and corn.

Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 package egg noodles

- 1 tbs butter
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 can corn

Instructions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for about 10 min or until al dente; drain and set aside.
In same pot, saute mushrooms, onion, pepper and garlic in butter.
Preheat oven to 425 F
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix noodles, mushrooms, onion, 2 cups of cheese, corn, tuna, soup, and celery.

This Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole goes well with a nice crisp garden salad on the side and maybe a warm baguette or these Garlic & Cheese Whole Wheat Biscuits would be a lovely pairing as well.
Do you have a favourite comfort food?
Looks delicious – love your photos!
Thanks Kerrie!
I have to admit, you are bringing me back to my childhood. I love tuna casserole. My family does not but maybe, just maybe, I can sneak this recipe by them.
I will have to try making this for the boys. I would leave out the mushrooms, but other then that it looks delicious!
Holy yum…this looks delicious!
YUM!! That looks so delicious!! I think I need to make a GF version! DH over dosed on burnt tuna casserole when he was younger so we tries to avoid it!
lol funny!
I bookmarked this one even before I finished reading it! It looks SO yummy! I’m sure my family would love this one and it looks better than the tuna casserole recipe I have now. I love salmon but…salmon loave..blah! I’m with you on that 🙂
What do you do to the celery stalks before you add them?
Just dice them and put them right in
Looks delicious. I have been craving tuna lately. Thanks.
funny, I have totally been craving tuna this week too!
I think I’d like that! Eat tuna all the time, but my hubby doesn’t like it.
I think this is like the recipe my Mom used to make when I was little. I can’t wait to give it a try.
I cook for 5 grown men on a ranch. So, it is “den mom” versus the boys. So, A package of noodles, to me, is a 3 pounder from Costco. When you say a package of noodles, how many ounce package is that? Kind of a dumb question. But, a legitimate one for me…as everything I buy is in bulk. Thanks.
Great question, I have a package in my pantry so I could easily check. It’s 340g
This looks so good, I never had tuna casserole, I have it pinned and printed and going to try it because yours looks so good
This look so good, I also have a recipe for a delicious tuna casserole, but I’ll make your too to shake things up a bit.
It looks so good. I hope I do a good job making it. Thanks!

Pull the strings from the stalk before dicing, easier to eat and refines the recipe a bit.
I have never made a tuna casserole; lots of tuna melts which we love, but no casserole. This recipe has changed my mind and I have saved the recipe. Thank you for sharing with us.
