Bonita’s Tips:
Double the recipe to make more for leftovers or for more then four people.
Use your favourite shredded cheese and crackers. Most of us got extra crackers thats crushed in the bottom of that box.
Use two cans of tuna for more tuna in recipe, or replace with canned salmon, ham or even shrimp.
Budget friendly meal and very tasty.
Don’t add salt to the sauce because the canned tuna got salt in it…
Canned tuna is packed in salt and you don’t need to add salt to our recipe….only the noodles.
Marry all ingredients together to put in a casserole pan or pan of choice.
Bake in a 375 or 400ºF for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
