I’ve made a few different versions of tuna casserole from scratch (no processed ingredients), but haven’t written the recipe. You can make a basic white sauce (bechamel) and use about 2 cups of it in place of the soup. I like to cook some finely chopped onions and celery in butter then stir in the flour and milk to give the sauce more flavor. Just make sure to season well with salt and pepper!

Thanks so much for posting. My mom used to make this as well when I was growing up, and while I rarely cook, this is one thing I can do. I followed your mom’s recipe and it came out great!

I came across your blog because I was looking for the recipe on how to make a Red Velvet Cake… I love your site and it has inspired me to be more creative when it comes to cooking!!! Thank you so much!!! I made this tonight for me and my daughter and we LOVED it!!! I did make a few changes though… Instead of using the canned soup I sliced 10 small mushrooms and sautéed them until they had reduced in size… I then put them in a blender with some milk until it was smooth. I put it aside while I made the creamy cheese sauce then added in the milk and mushroom mix. Instead of using store bought bread crumbs or adding butter to my own and put a piece of 4 grain bread into a food processor and sprinkled them on top with the parmasan

This was far and away my favorite dish as a kid, especially because it was so easy to make.

Tip – measure the milk by half-filling the can of cream of mushroom soup. helps you get out more of that goodness.

I sometimes crush up Have-A-Chips or Ritz crackers instead of using breadcrumbs. Also I add a dash of seasoned salt, maybe garlicsalt or onion powder.

Also delicious with cut-up asparagus and/or olives!

I made this for dinner tonight…Yummy! I wanted something easy that I had all of the ingredients for, and this won. It was delicious and I like that it’s not a huge portion. : ) Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I have this in the oven right now and can’t wait! I added a little Marsala wine to it and it smells great. Thanks for posting this!

Thank you for posting this recipe. I grew up eating Tuna Helper. I have tried making homemade tuna casserole in the past, however, the results were never that great. You pictures have inspired me to try again. None of the recipes I have tried in the past instructed me to mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter, and I am sure this makes a huge difference! I will be making this soon. Love your site!
