When I think of versatile casseroles, my mind immediately jumps to tuna casseroles. Not only are they a welcome dinner option—even for picky eaters—but they’re easy to make and store in the freezer. Ready-made ingredients like cream of mushroom soup added ﬂavor and moisture while beloved crispy toppings of the era like French fried onions and potato chips added texture.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and the cooked onions and butter from the skillet. Mix well.
Add the noodles, tuna, peas, and cheddar cheese. Gently fold the mixture until well blended. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top evenly with the fried onions.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and the topping is beginning to brown lightly. Serve.
