Here is two recipe’s for a frugal and healthy meal. This first one comes from my Grandma’s 1968 Betty Crocker cookbook. It’s called Tuna Noodle Casserole. I will give you the recipe and then my version because I have food allergies.
Tuna Noodle Casserole
Cook 6 ounces (3 cups) medium noodles (follow pkg directions), drain. Combine noodles, two 6.5 or 7 ounce can tuna, drained, ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 cup sliced celery, 1/3 cup chopped onion, ¼ cup chopped green pepper, ¼ cup chopped pimiento, and ½ tsp salt. Blend one 10 ½ oz can cream of celery soup and ½ cup milk; heat through. Add 4 oz sharp American cheese, shredded (1 cup); heat and stir till cheese melts. Add to noodle mixture. Turn into 2 quart casserole. Top with ½ cup toasted almonds of crushed potato chips. Bake uncovered at 425 for 20 minutes. Serves 6.
Jeanie’s version for Tuna Noodle Casserole
6 oz brown rice noodles, 2 cans tuna (packed in water), ½ cup non-dairy mayo (found out a health food store), same ingredients on celery, onion, green pepper, pimiento, salt, and Mrs Dash. I can’t use the canned soup so I make up a special mixture with soy powder, chicken bouillon, and seasonings. So there is 3 tablespoons of that mixed with soy milk. I stir until it’s a creamy mixture. Add that to the noodle mixture, along with 4 oz of shredded soy cheese. Mix all of that together as directed. I put the mixture in a 9 X 13 pan that has been sprayed with Pam spray. I then topped it with potato chips (corn free type). I baked for 20 minutes on 425.
