Hayley’s Grandmother’s Tuna Noodle Casserole, borrowed from the Brady House Cookbook @LucyBurdette

LUCY BURDETTE: This recipe, which I attributed to Hayley’s grandmother in THE MANGO MURDERS, is borrowed right from THE BRADY HOUSE SPECIALS, from my husband’s family. My mother-in-law loved to eat and was a good home cook, but she didn’t make anything too fancy. There were seven kids in his family, so you can imagine that her main goal was getting something fast and filling on the table. We always get a laugh out of the note on the recipe that this simple casserole was Lewis’s (#6 of 7 in the lineup) favorite!

Tuna Noodle Casserole

(Lewis's favorite)

Ingredients

6 oz can of tuna fish 

Can of mushroom soup

1 can milk

Cooked noodles

Cook noodles until tender. Add tuna and mix with other ingredients. Put in casserole. Sprinkle with buttered crumbs and bake 30 minutes.

Isn't that hilarious? Did your family have a special favorite among the dinners served? Who cooked in your household? (Come back July 31 for tuna noodle casserole part 2...)
