Tasty Tuna-Noodle Casserole

Source: Hannah M.
  • 1 pound bow or rotini noodles
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 4 T. butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 t. salt
  • 1-1/2 t. garlic powder
  • 1 t. onion powder
  • 1/4 t. pepper
  • 1/2 t. mustard
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 3 (5 ounce) cans tuna - do NOT drain!
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips

Cook noodles and set aside. Saute onions in butter (I added a little olive oil as well). Add flour, salt, garlic & onion powder, pepper, and mustard. Allow to thicken and brown slightly. Stir in milk; add cheese slowly. Add 3 cans of tuna. Combine mixture with noodles, and pour into a casserole dish. Top with 2 handful of cheese and crushed potato chips. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, covered! Remove cover and turn oven on broil for a few seconds to crisp the topping, but watch it carefully, because it browns very quickly.
