“There were a lot of steps and I dirtied so many dishes, but this is hands down the best tuna noodle casserole I've ever had. Marinated tuna combined with the deliciously cheesy and smooth sauce and my favorite veggies equaled second helpings for everyone. This” — a cook, 5.0★
“The best tuna casserole I ever made! Time consuming but worth it, it makes a lot, I was surprised it could be frozen with cream in it, my sister said leave the lid off when baking frozen since cream was in it. Made three meals for the two of us. ” — a cook, 5.0★
