Tuna Noodle Casserole

This tuna casserole is deliciousness straight out of the 80’s. Any other eighties kids remember eating this at least twice a month?

I have kept it basically the same. The only real change being that I use frozen peas and carrots instead of canned peas. Instead of a breadcrumb topping we are using crunched up Ritz crackers, because well, it’s just so good that way.

This Tuna Noodle Casserole is a classic for a reason. It never goes out of style.
