Tuna Noodle Casserole

A go-to dish for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

• 6 oz wide egg noodles
• 1 can chunk light tuna
• 1/2 c mayonnaise
• 1/2 c sour cream
• 1/2 c milk
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 c celery, chopped
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1/4 c green pepper, chopped
• 4 oz American cheese
• 1/4 c slivered almonds (optional)
• 1/4 c green olives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the egg noodles and drain them. Mix the remaining ingredients and fold into the noodles. Place in a greased 2 quart casserole and bake uncovered at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.

Notes This is very adaptable to what is in the fridge and pantry; no soup, no problem -- make your own; no noodles, use macaroni; no mayonnaise, use more sour cream, and vice versa and so on.
