Tuna Casserole

Tuna Casserole

Everyday

Tuna casserole is a classic American baked dish combining flaked tuna, starch (typically egg noodles or pasta), and a creamy sauce often made with condensed soup. This comfort food staple gains protein from canned tuna but tends to be higher in carbohydrates and saturated fats due to its starchy base and dairy components. Traditional versions feature a crispy topping like breadcrumbs or fried onions, while modern adaptations may incorporate vegetables or gluten-free substitutions.
