I hope you enjoy this easy tuna noodle recipe.
The Story Behind The Recipe
I don’t know about you, but I have always bought that boxed tuna noodle that comes with everything in it except the tuna.
My mother did the same.
I never thought about trying to make my own homemade tuna noodle casserole, that is until yesterday.
I did a lot of research online and in cookbooks, then came up with my own recipe.
I did use minimal amounts of the spices, so feel free to increase or decrease those to suit your needs.
