Just because you want to make frugal recipes, doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice taste. This is the best of the tuna noodle casserole recipes, and I have been having it since I was a little kid. It is one of my all time favorites. The best part is you can feed a family of 6-8 for around $5! I would definitely classify it as one of my all time favorite comfort foods!
Ingredients
1 cans tuna in water (drained) (75 cents)
1 cans sweet corn (drained) (65 cents)
1 cans cream of mushroom soup (70 cents)
8 oz cheddar cheese ($1.29 bought locally)
16 oz box of macaroni noodles (50 cents)
Total Cost $3.89 or 48 cents a serving
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place a large pot full of water on stove to boil. Once boiling place noodles in, and boil them until tender (approximately 15 minutes)
Open all cans, drain (if applicable), and place in 13X9 baking dish.
Drain pasta and place in baking dish. Then use large spoon to mix all ingredients together until pasta is thoroughly coated.
Sprinkle the top with cheddar cheese.
Place in oven for approximately 25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
About Ashley Sears
It’s been a while since I’ve made a tuna casserole. This looks great! I’m inspired to make it.
You won’t regret making it. It is fabulous and really easy.
I’ve never had tuna noodle casserole with corn in it. That’ s much better than the potato chips I usually put on it.
It provides a great texture in the food, but without the grease of potato chips
Tuna with cheese and corn? wow, that’s a different kind of twist for me. Guess I’ll have to try it to know!
It may sound gross, but it’s actually awesome!
my mom used to make this when i was a kid!
Great way to get kids to eat tuna as well! I would love it if you linked this to my Foodie Friday http://homemaidsimple.blogspot.com/2012/04/foodie-friday-grilled-chicken-salad.html

having a craving for tuna,so im making this one now ,but i think i,ll add a can of peas to mine,just cause i love peas,,,
Penny, someone told me that normally this recipe does have peas in it. I have always had it with corn. Maybe I should try peas sometimes. Might be a nice change! Enjoy!
Sounds delish! Going to try this for Saturday’s dinner.
