My mom didn&#8217;t make a lot of things that were too memorable but this was one that did stand out. I always looked forward to eating it whenever the occasion for her to make it came up. It wasn&#8217;t like we had a designated night for it so it seemed like a treat sometimes. And the leftovers were always so good, still are.<\/p>\n<p>This is rich, creamy, and has a nice crispy topping to give it some texture. I highly recommend this as a weekend night meal, it has all your protein, starch, and veggies &#8230; oh, and dairy, all in one dish. How good is that?!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bearinthepantry.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tuna_casserole.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-533\" alt=\"tuna_casserole\" src=\"http:\/\/bearinthepantry.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tuna_casserole.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bearinthepantry.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tuna_casserole.jpg 480w, https:\/\/bearinthepantry.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tuna_casserole-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bearinthepantry.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tuna_casserole-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/bearinthepantry.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tuna_casserole.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Ultimate Tuna Casserole<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main Dish\/Entree<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">American<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Bear In The Pantry<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4-6<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 \u2013 12 oz package wide egg noodles<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 small onion, chopped fine<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 cups shredded Mexican 4-cheese blend, divided<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup frozen peas<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 \u2013 6 oz cans tuna, drained<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 \u2013 10.75 oz cans condensed cream of mushroom soup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup sliced mushrooms, or one can sliced mushrooms<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup crushed saltines, buttery crackers, or potato chips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Preheat oven to 425\u00ba F.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
