Tuna Noodle Casserole From Scratch - Depression Era Recipe - The Hillbilly Kitchen

Preheat your oven.

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion, celery, and bell pepper until softened.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Stir in the sliced potatoes or mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften.

Add the frozen green peas and cooked egg noodles to the skillet, mixing well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and corn starch until smooth, then pour it into the skillet, stirring to combine.

Add the tuna (drained) and mix everything together gently.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with bread crumbs and shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
