tuna casserole
Fish and pasta
Tuna casserole is a baked American dish combining canned tuna, egg noodles, and cream of mushroom soup, often topped with crushed potato chips or breadcrumbs.
It became a mid-20th-century staple of home cooking—economical, filling, and requiring minimal skill.
The dish evokes church potlucks and weeknight family dinners: Mom's tuna casserole was comfort food, not cuisine.
