Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 21

16 oz. wide egg noodles
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tsp EACH onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese (divided (or more to taste))
3 oz. freshly grated Gruyere cheese ((1 packed cup))
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cans (7 oz. each) solid white albacore tuna (drained)
2 cups frozen petite peas (thawed)
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • NOODLES: Cook the egg noodles in salted water until barely al dente, about 2 minutes less than packaging instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, drain, rinse until cold and set aside.
  • PANKO: Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Add panko and stir to coat. Continue cooking until crumbs become golden brown. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
  • CASSEROLE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • SAUCE: Melt butter with olive oil in a very large skillet or Dutch over medium heat (something that can fit all ingredients). Whisk in flour then cook, while stirring for 2 minutes. Turn heat to low then gradually whisk in milk and 1 ½ cups chicken broth. Whisk cornstarch with remaining chicken broth and add to skillet followed by Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, chicken bouillon and all spices/seasonings.
  • Bring sauce to a boil, whisking constantly then reduce heat to a simmer, whisking often until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 cup cheddar until melted followed by Gruyere cheese until melted. Whisk in sour cream until blended.
  • COMBINE: Add the tuna and peas and stir to combine. Stir in the noodles until evenly combined. Stir in some of the reserved pasta water IF the sauce has become too thick. Transfer to prepared baking dish and top with remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese followed by panko.
  • BAKE: Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, uncover and bake an addition 10-15 minutes or until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted; serve piping hot. Season with freshly cracked salt and pepper to taste (I like more salt).

TUNA AND VEGETABLE CASSEROLE



Tuna and Vegetable Casserole image

In an attempt to eat healthier, my husband and I have been eating more vegetables and less meats. As a result, I have become more creative coming up with dinner meals. This casserole was delicious, used fresh vegetables I had on hand, and went together very quickly. I topped the casserole with French fried onions. Another option would be more grated cheese or crushed potato chips.
