Description

Tuna and vegetable casserole comes together quickly with this recipe that calls for plenty of fresh and frozen vegetables that are usually on-hand.

Ingredients

1/2 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
1 cup 1-inch pieces fresh-cut green beans
1 cup bite-size summer squash pieces
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup sliced carrots
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup 2% milk
1 (7 ounce) can albacore tuna, drained and broken into chunks
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup French-fried onions (such as French's®)

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water, occasionally stirring until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
2 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
3 Combine green beans, squash, peas, and carrots in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl; cook until tender, 3 to 10 minutes. Rinse vegetables with cold water and drain.
4 Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sauté mushrooms in hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
5 Whisk mushroom soup and milk together in a large bowl; add vegetables, mushrooms, tuna, onion, and Cheddar cheese. Mix in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Pour mixture into a casserole dish and top with French fried onions.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 20 minutes.
