Notes

Like spice? Use jalapeño potato chips for the top!

Want to add veggies? Add one cup of defrosted frozen corn, defrosted frozen green beans, or defrosted frozen peas to the noodles. You can also add a small jar of drained pimentos.

You can substitute 1–2 cups of chopped, cooked chicken breast for the tuna.

Any "cream of" (chicken, celery, etc.) soup can be used in place of the cream of mushroom soup.

Any type of smaller pasta (shells, fusilli, penne) work well in place of the egg noodles.

Make ahead instructions: Prepare casserole according to recipe directions, but do not add potato chips and do not bake it. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before adding potato chips and baking.

Freezing instructions: Follow make ahead instructions above, and add a layer of aluminum foil on top of the plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 2 months. Remove the foil and plastic wrap, and place the foil back on top. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, then add the potato chips and bake for another 25–30 minutes, or until warm throughout.
