NOT MY MOM'S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



Not MY Mom's Tuna Noodle Casserole image

Is there anyone out there who actually admits that they like tuna noodle casserole? My own mother teased me when I was first married about making the standard Tuna Noodle Casserole. I then went about inventing my own. It is a much beloved casserole and comfort food at our house.

NOT YOUR MOMMA'S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



Not Your Momma's Tuna Noodle Casserole image

This fabulous Tuna-Noodle Casserole certainly isn't the one Mom used to make, but is just as comforting. This is based on a recipe found in the Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook, but altered to fit what was in my pantry at the time. While not as low in points and calories, this one is still a healthy alternative to classic Tuna Noodle Casserole.
