How to Make Tuna Noodle Casserole

1. Preheat and Prepare Dish

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9-by-13 inch dish with butter.

2. Cook Egg Noodles

Cook the egg noodles in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain them well and set aside.

3. Sauté Vegetables

Melt butter in a pot, add celery and onion, season with salt, and cook until onions are translucent. Then add mushrooms and cook until tender.

4. Add Capers and Garlic

Add capers and garlic to the pot and cook for another minute.

5. Make the Sauce

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, then gradually add chicken stock, half-and-half, and sherry. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened.

6. Combine with Tuna, Peas, and Parsley

Add flaked tuna, peas, and parsley to the sauce, stirring to combine.

7. Assemble Casserole

Mix the cooked noodles with the sauce, transfer to the greased dish, and sprinkle with crushed potato chips.

8. Bake and Serve

Bake the casserole at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let it rest before serving.
