Casserole Base
  • 2 cups cooked pasta
  • 2 cans tuna in water drained
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl combine the tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, chopped dill, frozen peas, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the mixture and gently fold everything together.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the crushed potato chips evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is lightly golden.
  8. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving so it sets slightly.

Notes

You can swap peas with corn or green beans for variety. Whole wheat pasta or low fat soup can also be used to make the dish a little lighter while keeping its creamy texture.
