The Best Tuna Casserole Recipe

If you love wide egg noodles, cheese, onions and tuna fish, then you’ll fall in love with this recipe. I found it in an old cookbook from a local church. All the women contributed their favorite recipes and low and behold I tried, Mrs. Ogawa’s Noodle and Tuna Fish Casserole. Oh my, I think it was many years ago when I first made it and ever since we call it using Mrs. Ogawa’s name. Our family doesn’t know her but we sure love her traditional tuna fish casserole recipe.

I always love the stories behind recipes. Don’t you just love it when recipes get passed from one generation to the next?

This casserole is your traditional recipe with a few twists. It contains cheese and mayonnaise which I believe give it a rich and creamy taste. Pair the cream and soft noodles with the crunch from the onions and celery and it is overall a delicious combination of ingredients.

Well, without further delay here is Mrs. Ogawa’s Best Tuna Casserole Recipe.

So, this is a photo of the casserole without any toppings. I recently tried crushed up ritz crackers with drizzled butter, try like 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers and 2 tbs melted butter and mix and top. It is a nice light topping compared to cut up breadcrumbs with butter. I think I’ll try topping it with breadcrumbs saute in garlic and olive oil next time. I’ll update and provide another photo.
