You can use 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese instead of the blend of Cheddar and American cheese for a more intense cheese flavor.

This is the best tuna recipe I have used. My husband has decided that this is the only way I am allowed to make tuna casserole from now on. My two kids love it and they get their veggies without knowing it. Think I will try to add a few extra veggies in next time, but overall very delicious!

this is by far the best recipe ive used for tuna noodle casserole!! the only adjustment i made was i left out the onions and goldfish crackers. i would definitly make this again, mine turned out great and i really loved the creaminess of the cheese soup! give this a try you wont be disappointed.

While I don''t give any recipe a 5, this one comes very close! Easy, tasty and nutritious. The cheddar soup changes it up from the standard cream of mushroom. I''m going to add some diced veggies like peppers and carrots next time. Any time I can add vegetables without the kids complaining is a plus!
