Cook macaroni as per package directions. Drain and rinse. Set aside

Tuna Casserole Sauce

In a glass bowl or large measuring cup whisk mushroom soup, milk and mayonnaise together. Set aside.

Wash then chop celery and green onions. Peel and dice onion. Mix celery, onions and minced garlic in a bowl.

Heat oil in a pan add vegetables. While frying veggies add salt and pepper. When celery has reached your preferred texture, I kept mine slightly crunchy, set burner to low. Pour in the sauce ingredients. Stir constantly over low heat until sauce begins to bubble slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Over low setting melt butter in a large pot.

Add the cooked macaroni noodles and mix well with the melted butter. While stirring constantly add the sauce, and cook on low to warm right through.

Tuna Pasta or Tuna Casserole?

If you’re a tad impatient like I was tonight, you can serve the pasta dish as is from the pot.

To finish it off as a true tuna casserole place the pasta in an oven safe dish, sprinkle with seasoned bread crumbs. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.

And that’s it for the tuna casserole recipe. Turns out it was really easy and it was very tasty 😋
