Cheesy Noodle Casserole
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups  water
  • 1 10 3/4ounce can reduced-fat and reduced-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 14 1/2ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup  sliced celery (2 stalks)
  • 1 cup  sliced carrots (2 medium)
  • 1 cup  chopped onion (1 large)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons  dried Italian seasoning, crushed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces  dried extra-wide noodles
  • 1 16 ounce package extra-firm tofu (fresh bean curd), drained, if necessary, and cubed*
  • 1/2 cup  shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (2 ounces)
Directions

1. In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker whisk together the water and cream of mushroom soup. Stir in tomatoes, celery, carrots, onion, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 7 to 8 hours or high-heat setting for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

3. If using low-heat setting, turn cooker to high-heat setting. Stir in uncooked noodles; cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes more or until tender, stirring once halfway through cooking. Gently stir in tofu cubes. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand until cheese is melted.
