Cooking with Jordan! episode 11 Tuna Noodle Casserole

Time for another episode of Cooking with Jordan. You can view earlier episodes by clicking on these links Preview, One Dish Mexican, Grilled Chicken, Cooking(?) with Daddy, Tortellini Soup , Teriyaki Chicken, Buffalo Chicken Bites, Parmesan Chicken Pasta With Broccoli, Garbage Casserole, Cheeseburger Pie, Golden Crusted Chicken Asparagus Lasagna and Baked Rigatoni. The whole point of the cooking lessons for J is to show her some basic easy meals, teach her how to plan a menu, learn how to follow a recipe and help her become more comfortable in the kitchen...this is not anything totally gourmet or culinary school worthy. We hope you enjoy Cooking With Jordan and try these recipes with your kids. They are totally J approved! J was recently looking through our little Campbell's Soup Recipe Book and came across Tuna Noodle Casserole. "Tuna? I like tuna. Sweet Peas? I like sweet peas. Noodles? I love noodles! Let's make this one." So here it is...

Tuna Noodle Casserole

open and drain 2 cans of tuna (Big Daddy prefers white albacore, J and I are not that picky)

2 cans cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup of milk
add tuna, season with fresh ground black pepper and garlic salt to taste
stir and smile over the shoulder like this...very important!
1 lrg bag wide egg noodles (this is also yum with whole wheat pasta)
cook as directed...about 8 min.
1 bag frozen petite peas
bake at 350 for about 10 min...just enough to warm through
ENJOY!!
I will admit I was not that excited about this recipe. I have had it, it's OK, i am just not a fan of casseroles in general. J loves them...i think it seems easy and do-able to her. This ended up being a whole lot better than i expected...and was even kinda "more-ish".

I love Tuna Noodle Casserole. I use cream of mushroom soup instead and mix some cheddar cheese in. I love the pieas, but my family balks at it. I still do it sometimes and tell them to pick it out if they don't like them. Also, I put crushed potatoe chips on top with a little more cheese when I have it.

wow, this just brought me back to my childhood. I ick tunafish casserole. I think that is why I never make casseroles. I did eat it once when my sister made it and crushed potato chips on top.

I'm mad at bloglines. It's showing your feed as broken but from here it looks like it's fine. I have to go catch up on your posts from the last several days.

I love all the recipes I get from these posts. J will be blessed to know how to cook something other than ramen when she gets to college!

Shar said...

I actually don't like Tuna or casserole, so I don't think I'd ever make this, but Jordan looks so cute cooking up a storm!

Jules said...

She did a great job! I am impressed! My favorite Campbell's single dish recipe is the Chicken Rice Bake.

Tiff said...

That recipe brings back memories from when i was a kid. My mom used to make that. I think I will make it for my kids this week. Thanks Jordan!!!

SuperCoolMom said...

Warm Tuna is not my fave, but put some chicken in instead and I'm all over that!

Kelly said...

Yum, you're making me hungry. I had a hot dog for dinner. blah!

Julie said...

I think that is so neat. Teaching your daughter how to cook. My mom never taught me much in the kitchen. I've made pancakes, cookies, brownies with my boys but they've never done meals. I'm going to have to click on some of your recipes and try them with my boys!
