Tuna Noodle Casserole
Ingredients
  • 3
    cups medium noodles (4 oz.)
  • 1
    cup chopped celery
  • 1/4
    cup chopped onion
  • 1/4
    cup butter
  • 1/4
    cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 - 3
    tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 2 1/4
    cups milk
  • 1
    12 ounce can chunk tuna, drained
  • 1/2
    cup bottled roasted red sweet peppers, chopped
  • Potato chips, optional
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In large saucepan cook noodles according to package directions. Drain; return noodles to pan.

2. For sauce, in medium saucepan cook celery and onion in hot butter until tender. Stir in flour, mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add milk all at once; cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly, whisking to remove any lumps.

3. Gently fold sauce, tuna, and peppers into noodles. Transfer to lightly greased 1-1/2-quart baking dish. Top with chips. Bake, uncovered, 30 to 35 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 5 minutes. Serves 4.

This was excellent. I doubled the recipe for a dinner club and used two fresh red bell peppers (instead of roasted jarred) that I sauteed with the celery and onion. I also added in two cloves of garlic. Once the sauce had come together I added in 8 oz of shredded monterey jack cheese as well. I topped with french fried onions and baked for only 20 minutes. This was delicious and went over well with everyone, even the kids!
