What could be more comforting than a Tuna Noodle Casserole?

When I first was married I had no idea that people made homemade tuna noodle casserole, we only had tuna helper! I discovered this recipe on the internet years ago and haven’t made much tuna helper since. I can not find the original recipe anymore online, so I put together what I can remember here. I LOVE the French fried onions on this,  you can leave them out or put them on just part of it if part of your family does not like.

This recipe starts with a bag of egg noodles, cream of mushroom soup, tuna, sour cream, onion powder, pepper and peas. Then I top it with peas.

After that bakes for 25 minutes I add French fried onions. Then bake for 10 minutes more.

My entire family loves this though my husband says too many peas and my I have to scoop it up for my daughter without the onions. It’s a real winner and we love the leftovers the next day. I hope you give this a try.
