Tuna Casserole: 10 Minute Comfort Meal

Question 1

Can I make tuna casserole without cream of mushroom soup?

Accepted Answer

Oh, absolutely! If cream of mushroom isn’t your thing, or you just don’t have it, cream of celery soup works like a charm as a substitute. It gives you that same creamy, comforting base that’s perfect for a tuna noodle casserole. Some people even use cream of chicken! Just remember to use a condensed soup for that classic texture.

Question 2

What kind of tuna is best for tuna casserole?

Accepted Answer

For this easy tuna casserole, I usually grab that classic canned tuna packed in water. It's straightforward and you just need to make sure you drain it really, really well. Flake it with a fork so it mixes in nicely. If you prefer tuna packed in oil, that’ll work too, just drain it well to avoid making the casserole too greasy.

Question 3

How do I make tuna casserole creamier?

Accepted Answer

If you're all about that extra creamy goodness, there are a couple of easy ways to achieve it! You can add an extra splash of milk to the mixture when you’re combining everything. Or, for an even richer texture, stir in a tablespoon of butter along with the condensed soup and tuna. Some folks also like to stir in a bit of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt towards the end for added creaminess and a slight tang!
