Ingredients

  • 3 cup medium noodles (4 oz.)

  • 1 cup chopped celery

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • ¼ cup butter

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 - 3 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

  • 2 ¼ cup milk

  • 1 12 ounce can chunk tuna, drained

  • ½ 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.
