"Cooked chicken breast may be used in place of the tuna, if desired add in 1 cup low-fat grated cheddar cheese to the soup mixture, this is only optional --- for Weight Watcher's program 1 serving = 7 points :)"

I have not yet made this tuna casserole but I am looking forward to it. Every tuna casserole I have ever made always had peas in it. I kept going through the recipe thinking I was missing this ingredient. I realized it just wasn’t there. I think it’s a good idea to add vegetables whenever we can to a recipe. I read all the reviews and was thankful for all the ideas and Ingredient exchanges.

I was craving a tuna noodle casserole and searched 3 web sites before deciding on this one. Thanks so much it totally hit the spot. A few changes I made: sauteed onions and garlic in butter, added soup, milk and heated in a pan. Used a whole bag of no yolk noodles and added about 1 C frozen peas and carrots. I used 3 cans tuna and mixed in 1 C shredded white cheddar. Finally - topped with breadcrumbs. EXCELLENT. Thanks!

Easy! I made everything ahead and placed in fridge until dinner time when DH put it in oven. While changing serving sizes, I messed up on some things (doubled Mrs.Dash and Milk), but it still tasted great! I also added a cup of frozen peas. Right before baking I also added a couple of fistfulls of crushed potato chips on top. It adds a bit of calories, but well worth the salty crunch. DH loves tuna and loved this dish.

This was pretty good and goes together quickly. Like another reviewer I used egg noodles instead of fusilli. Thanks for posting! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

A Big 5 Stars! This was so flavorful and creamy, yet not heavy. I did use egg noodles instead of wheat fusilli just because I had them. Counting my weight watcher points never tasted so good. Also a big hit with my picky family. Thanks Kittencal for another great recipe!

Comfort food heaven! Made this for my DH and I on a cold winter night in this last weekend. I halved the recipe since it was just the two of us and used a 1.5 qt round baking dish. I used the cream of celery soup and skipped the mayo altogether. I added the half a cup of grated cheese into the mixture and sprinkled just a little on the top at the very end. I baked for a total of 25 minutes, since we were getting impatient and because I was making a smaller amount - it was hot through and through. I'm also embarrassed to say, we ate the entire thing in one night! It was that good! Made for Kittencal-tag-a-thon.
