I know it sounds bonkers, but trust me, this tuna casserole is one of the yummiest things ever. A comfort food bonanza! Before this, Grandma had never written out this recipe. She doesn't measure anything when cooking this, but it must be tasted throughout.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 can tuna , 5 ounce
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 0.5 cups milk , divided
  • 1 package dry onion soup mix , 1 ounce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder , or to taste
  • 0.13 teaspoons seasoned salt , such as LAWRY'S®
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter , cut into small pieces, divided
  • 8 ounces ridged potato chips , such as Ruffles®
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese , Optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.

  2. 2

    Mix cooked noodles with tuna, sour cream, 1/4 cup milk, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

  3. 3

    Lay 1/2 of the butter across the bottom of a 2-quart, microwave-safe casserole dish. Crush potato chips, then sprinkle 1/4 of the crushed chips over the bottom and press to flatten.

  4. 4

    Spread the tuna-noodle mixture in a single layer over the crushed chips. Layer with 1/2 of the mozzarella, 2/3 of the remaining chips, followed by the remaining butter, chips, milk, and mozzarella.

  5. 5

    Microwave on high until casserole is hot and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
