TOTAL CALORIES: 2,538

Preparation Instructions:
Cook noodles. Drain and set aside. Chop onion. Combine soup, mushrooms, onion, mustard, peas, salt, and sour cream in a bowl. Gently stir in noodles and drained tuna. Pour into 2 quart casserole dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top, and bake for remaining 15 minutes.

Special notes:
  • 1.25 cups condensed cheese soup = 1 can of campbell's soup
  • 1/2 c. mushrooms = 1 can of sliced mushrooms (actually a wee bit more but not enough to matter)
  • we mix the cheese right into the recipe instead of scattering on top
  • also if you forget to put in the pepper as I often do....sprinkling pepper over the top of the casserole works well too. :)
  • 18 oz of tuna is what this recipe calls for... there are 4.2 oz of tuna in one regular can of tuna so it takes 4 cans of tuna to actually make this recipe.
