MOM'S TUNA CASSEROLE!! PANTRY POWER!! SHELF COOKING!!
Today I am sharing the original pantry meal that I grew up with! My Mom's tuna casserole. This one is a little unconventional but it is delicious. It is simple to make and it is easy enough for your kids to make on their own, with supervision. A great way to put a budget friendly meal on the table that is sure to satisfy both their hunger as well as your desire to save money and pull from what you have. This is a favorite of my father's as well as the rest of my family and I hope that you will find it to be the same for you!
I recently put a question out on my YouTube community page, instagram and Facebook and asked if you would like to see some more pantry style cooking and recipe videos. The response was overwhelmingly YES! So here we are. I will be planning to share more practical recipe and information videos including stocking a pantry on a budget as well as fill a request for information about those dates on your food and packages. What do they really mean?
I digress. Today we are making a simple, delicious and budget friendly recipe that uses 95% pantry items that you can put together in no time! Tuna casserole is propably something that every mom has made. My mom's is a little different. It starts with a box of macaroni and cheese. I prefer the thick and creamy variety and it is simply made according to the directions on the box.
To that .37 cent box of mac and cheese we are going to add one can of cream of mushroom soup, a can of sliced mushrooms, a can of sliced ripe olives as well as two cans of the tuna of your choice. I prefer albacore which is a little more expensive than chunk light which would make this casserole a little cheaper, but the flavor, taste and texture of the albacore is something we prefer over the less expensive variety. We are also going to add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese as well as a cup of crushed potato chips. If you don't have chips, use some buttered breadcrumb or some crushed corn flakes that have been tossed in a bit of melted butter. Any of those will give you the crunchy topping you are looking for here.
This all gets mixed together, with the exception of half the cheese and the chips. Poured into a baking dish and then topped with the remaining cheese and the crushed potato chips. Then it gets popped in the oven for about a half an hour until browned and bubbly.
We serve this with our favorite side which is one can of green beans mixed with one can of stewed tomatoes which adds a great accompaniment to the creamy, cheesy casserole. This will serve six people generously and with the addition of the vegetable side dish and maybe some biscuits or bread if you desire, no one is walking away hungry!
The cost breakdown here goes as follows: NOTE: I used all store brand ingredients and they came from Walmart.
Great Value Thick and Creamy Mac and Cheese: $0.34
Great Value Cream of Mushroom Soup: $0.57
2 cans Great Value Albacore Tuna: ($1.12 each) $2.24
Great Value Mushroom Stems & Pieces: $1.25
Great Value Sliced Ripe Olives: $0.67
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese: $1.33
1 cup crushed potato chips: $0.25
1/2 stick butter for mac and cheese: $0.34
1/2 cup milk for mack and cheese: $0.18
Total cost: $7,17
NOTE: In the video I mentioned that the cost breakdown was $7.35. I miscalculated on the part of the milk and actually doubled the amount. This breaks down to approximately $1.20 per serving if serving six people. The cost of the vegetable side dish was $1.17 for the whole bowl. In my opinion this is a champion pantry meal that really hits all the notes of being budget friendly as well as being family friendly! If you are not keen on tuna, you could certainly make this casserole with chicken or ham as well!
I hope you give this recipe for my Mom's tuna casserole a try sometime soon and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!

Mom's chicken noodle casserole!
Mom's chicken noodle casserole in the crockpot, Mom used to make this on the stovetop in a stockpot and we want to offer an easy solution to make this recipe. We used the crockpot on high heat for a total of 5 hours. I didn't want the noodles to be soggy, so we cut it back from 6 hours to 5 hours and added more chicken broth to moisten the casserole.
16 oz wide egg noodles
2 cans cream of chicken soup, 10.5 oz each(I used 1 can chicken and 1 can cream of celery
1 stick butter - cut into pieces
chicken broth, 32 oz; may want extra to thin out if too thick. I used another 16 oz near the end of cooking
1 chicken bouillon cube, or you can use better then bouillon chicken flavor
Salt and pepper to taste
fresh chopped parsley
3 large boneless chicken breasts (I used 2 large boneless breast and 2 large backs with skin on for seasoning )
In the crockpot, massage salt and pepper into the recently rinsed and dried chicken breasts and lay in the bottom of the crockpot. Slice butter into 8 slices and lay on top chicken. Pour soup on top chicken and butter. Then pour chicken stock and chicken bouillon cube over chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours, remove chicken and shred and return to crockpot ( make sure to remove bones)
Add egg noodles and cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour and stir to incorporate the noodles into the liquid.
Add chicken broth as needed to keep noodles moist. Sprinkle fresh parsley over casserole when ready to serve warm and delicious y'all

1:58 Cooking the onion, celery, and garlic
4:37 Cooking the pasta
6:26 Adding tuna and peas
7:20 Adding the bread crumbs
8:06 Tasting the recipe
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 3 cups pasta shells
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Neufchâtel Cheese
- 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 2 5-oz cans tuna, drained and flaked into pieces
- 1 1/4 cups frozen peas, thawed
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a 4-6 quart saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-low heat. Add the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Stir and cook the breadcrumbs until they are browned, 4-6 minutes. Once cooked, remove the crumbs from the saucepan and set them aside to cool.
- In the same saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter. Once melted, add the onion, celery, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the onion turns translucent and begins to soften, 4-6 minutes. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken stock and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the pasta. Cover and simmer until the pasta is cooked al dente, 8-10 minutes.
- Once the pasta is cooked, continue to simmer and add the heavy cream, Neufchâtel cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheeses are melted and smooth, 3 minutes.
- Add the lemon zest, tuna, and peas. Stir to combine and warm the peas, 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining shredded cheese, turn the heat off, cover, and allow the cheese to melt. Once melted, add the bread crumbs, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

From my farm to your home. ????
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family.
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.
