In The Kitchen: Casseroles Are Fun!

Everyone has a Tuna Noodle Casserole in the family recipe file, right? This one is my mom's, not sure where she got it, but we loved it as kids and I still make it occasionally as an adult.  You can change it up by adding different veggies, and I've even made it with salmon instead of tuna.  It works.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

1 (8 ounce) package wide egg noodles
