Best Kittencals Easy Tuna Or Chicken Noodle Casserole Recipes
KITTENCAL'S EASY TUNA OR CHICKEN NOODLE CASSEROLE
This is a delicious casserole that can be made using either tuna or 1-1/2 cups or more of cooked cubed chicken or even cooked turkey --- for a thinner sauce use 1 cup of milk or half and half instead of 3/4 cup, prep time includes boiling the egg noodles, if you are not a garlic-lover then you may omit the garlic powder and to zing the flavor up even more add in 1-1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice

KITTENCAL'S TUNA SALAD SANDWICHES
This is a simple recipe but big on flavor and it even tastes better if left in the fridge a few hours to blend the flavors so I suggest to do that --- it's wonderful with a slice of tomato on top of the tuna and served between two thick slices of toasted whole grain bread or in a pita bread or served on a plate on top of a bed of lettuce --- I sometimes add in some chopped small sweet gherkin pickles or yum yum pickles also --- feel free to add in some cooked macaroni pasta and serve on a plate --- please only fresh lemon juice for this bottled is just not the same, I have left the mustard powder and Tabasco as optional I most always add it in it takes this salad to another level :)

Steps:
- Drain the tuna then hand-squeeze out any excess moisture; place in a bowl then flake with a fork.
- Add in all remaining ingredients up to the Tabasco sauce; mix until well combined, adjusting all seasonings to suit taste.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours (more is even better!).
- Divide onto bread slices with lettuce leaves and slices tomatoes.
- Delicious!
KITTENCAL'S EASY LASAGNA
This lasagna is easier than most as there is no pre-cooking the noodles, do not use the no-boil noodles for this just regular lasagna noodles, the no-boil with become too soft with the addition of the water --- this was tested using Classico Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce, any meatless Classico pasta sauce will do fine or you could use your own favorite brand --- I suggest to prepare the meat sauce up to 2 days ahead this will not only save you time but the flavors will ripen and intensify for a better tasting sauce --- cooking time does not include the meat sauce.

Steps:
- Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- In a skillet cook the ground beef with onion until no longer pink; drain fat.
- Add in garlic (if using) and continue to cook until the meat is slightly browned (about 8 minutes).
- Add in pasta sauce; bring to a simmer over medium heat stirring.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 40-45 minutes or even a little longer stirring occasionally, and seasoning with salt and pepper towards the end of cooking time (if you are making ahead cool to room temperature cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days, heat the sauce on top of the stove or in the microwave until hot before using for the lasagna).
- Meanwhile in a bowl mix all the filling ingredients together until well combined (taste the mixture and if so desired you may add in more seasoned salt and black pepper to suit taste).
- TO ASSEMBLE; spread 1/3 meat sauce into the bottom of the dish, then place 3 uncooked noodles lengthwise on the sauce (if desired you may use another noodle at the end of the dish facing across but you will need to snap off a bit of the end to fit in the dish).
- Dollup then spread half the ricotta cheese mixture on top of the noodles leaving about 1-inch space from the edge of the dish (the cheese mixture does not have to cover the noodles completely).
- Repeat with 3 noodles, remaining cheese mixture, then 1/3 of the meat sauce.
- Top with remaining 3 noodles then remaining 1/3 meat sauce.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top then 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Using a small spoon drizzle the water all around the edges of the pan at the same time slightly pushing the edges of the lasagna inwards to make room for the water.
- Place onto a baking sheet to prevent any spills (your pan will be very full).
- Set oven to 350 degrees F (oven rack set to bottom position).
- Cover tightly with a double layer of foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Uncover and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Allow to stand for 20 minutes before serving.
