Easy Tuna Casserole

Tuna, egg noodles, milk, flour, cheese and a secret ingredient are all you need to make this easy family favorite tuna casserole. It's great as leftovers, too!

During the winter months, besides crockpot meals, I like to make up casseroles. I find them to be one of the best comfort foods and one of my all-time favorites is this easy old fashioned, cheesy tuna casserole that I have been making since my sons were little (so, that is a looong time!). 

In fact, when we visited with my youngest son and his family last year, I asked him what his favorite meal was growing up and this tuna casserole was it!  I asked what it was that he liked the most about it and he said the fact that it was cheesy and how the egg noodles poking out on top got really crispy from baking. 

I have to admit, that is one of the things I like most about this dish too!  Well that and it is so easy to put together.  Add a salad or a vegetable and this will be a meal your family will remember over the years too!
