cream of mushroom soup

🥗Healthier: homemade mushroom sauce

Homemade sauce can reduce sodium and additives.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheddar

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat options lower calories while maintaining flavor.

egg noodles

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pasta

💰Cheaper: elbow macaroni

Whole wheat adds fiber; elbow macaroni is often less expensive.

canned tuna

🥗Healthier: fresh tuna

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Fresh tuna is healthier but more expensive; salmon is a cheaper alternative.

Melt 1 stick of butter in a pan.

Take 1 pack of Saltine crackers and lay them down to cover the bottom of the baking dish.

Brush the Saltine crackers with melted butter.

Drain the tuna and spread it evenly on top of the crackers.

Add cream of mushroom soup over the tuna.

Top with chopped scallions from the garden.

Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the mixture for a little kick.

Crumble the remaining Saltine crackers and sprinkle them on top.

Pour the rest of the melted butter over the top of the casserole.

Place the casserole in a 350°F oven until it starts to bubble and the crackers are brown on top.

Let the casserole rest for 15 minutes before serving.
