This is the old tried and true, 1950's style tuna noodle casserole we remember as kids. Uses ingredients most people have on hand, especially those broken chips at the bottom of the bag that nobody wants to eat. Got to have those chips on top to be real.

- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 4 slices processed American cheese
- 1.5 cups crushed potato chips
