Slow Cooker Recipe
Tuna Noodle Casserole
Recently a customer came into The Good Cooking Store and purchased the Fix-It and Forget-It Kids Cookbook. Not for her children, but for herself
These recipes are great for all ages. The instructions are thorough and easy to follow. And the ingredients are simple and tasty.
Here is an old favorite—with a slow-cooker twist.
Tuna Noodle Casserole
Fix-It and Forget-It Kids Cookbook, page 88
Makes 5-6 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 2-6 hours
Ingredients:
2½ cups uncooked noodles
½ tsp. salt
½ cup finely chopped onions
½ cup shredded Swiss, or sharp cheddar, cheese
¼ cup sliced almonds, optional
½ cup sliced mushrooms, optional
6- or 12-oz. can tuna, depending on how much you like tuna
10 ¾-oz. can cream of mushroom soup (or 1 serving homemade cream of mushroom soup)
half a soup can of water
1 cup frozen peas
1. Mix the uncooked noodles, salt, onions, cheese, and almonds and mushrooms if you wish, in your slow cooker with a large wooden spoon.
2. Use a safety can opener to open the cans of tuna and cream of mushroom soup. Use a rubber spatula to carefully scrape their contents into the slow cooker. Stir together gently.
3. Then fill up half of the empty soup can with water. Add the water to the tuna mixture.
4. Gently stir again until everything is well mixed.
5. Cover your slow cooker. Cook on High for 2-3 hours, or on Low for 4-6 hours.
6. You will need to stir the Casserole every hour or so. Set the timer to remind yourself. Make sure to use a potholder to take off the lid.
7. Twenty minutes before the end of the cooking time, use your potholder to remove the slow cooker lid. Stir in the peas. If you cooked the Casserole on High heat, turn it to Low heat at this point.
8. Cook the Casserole for 20 more minutes, and then it’s time to eat!
how do I print this?
Just copy and paste it to a word document, then print.>
Just go over the recipe with your mouse to highlight it, right-click, then click on print.>
> I tried Elaine Boyle’s idea to print this recipe? It didn’t work..HELP!!
> Anytime there isn’t an option for print, you can hold “ctrl” and “P” and this will bring up a print window with options for your printer!
Hope that helps… this is what I had to do for this one too!
Have a nice day and enjoy your recipe!
> On my computer, if there’s not a print icon on the recipe, I just hit Alt F and it gives the file drop down box..find print and that should do it.
Good luck finding a 6 ounce can of tuna. The ever shrinking tuna cans are now 5 ounces so you definitely need two cans. When I first made tuna noodle casserole 30 years ago (first married) my recipe called for a 7 ounce can of tuna and I used to use two cans. I guess now I need 3 cans — I like tuna. I am looking forward to trying this in a slow cooker.
Use one can of tuna packed in water and one pouch of the flavored tuna. I like the spicy but lemon is good too. The pouch holds less than the can but between the combination, that should be enough AND add an extra flavor.
When I copy and paste none of the fractions copy, just get an inverted horseshoe thingey. Also the font is weird and there are double spaces between every word. It takes more than usual space and changing the font and size does not fix it very well. Looks like a good recipe, though I change it all to chicken. No tuna in my house.
But I like mine with a crunchy top. My momma always used to put bread crumbs on it and it got crunchy. Potato chips are good, too. I’ll give this a try and reserve judgment.
If you’re out of chips, try buttered bread cut into croutons!
Corn Flakes or Special K crunched up in your hands also make a great topping and also good for you.
If you are fixing this in crock pot it is probably because you won’t be around. So how practical is this to stir every hour.
> I agree, I almost always use the slow cooker when I’m at work and want to come home to a home-cooked meal, who is around to stir the pot?
> Egg noodles or flour noodles?
If you want to copy and print from this page you have to hold down the LEFT mouse button as you drag across the recipe, then click the RIGHT mouse button while you are pointing at the highlighted area. Drag to PRINT PREVIEW and change the line (via dropdown menu) that reads “as laid out on screen” to “AS SELECTED ON SCREEN”. It should show you a document that is 1 page and then you can print it on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Hope the help! ENJOY
It’s in the crock pot now
got my wisdom teeth out two days ago. Hope this comes out soft and yummy 
hope you feel better Amy I am getting my teeth pulled next year in january and getting dentures, let me know how the tuna turns out. take care. jan
i like the recipe for tuna noodle casserole where i use frozen mixed veggies in it, onion and also a crunchie topping from my oven.. tho i like my crock pot.. this recipe sounds like gum good
Do you recommend a certain size of slow cooker for this recipe?
Hi Patti! We used a 3-qt. slow cooker. Thanks for asking!
Love not having to pre-cook the noodles! Any recipe that makes one less dirty pan is OK in my book!!! Thanks!
I love Tuna Casserole and this sounds delicious. To print it out. Just use your mouse to highlight the recipe, then hit Control P.. Then go to where it says print Selection and it should print out just fine. I hope that helps.
Will try. Use crock a lot since mom wth Alz I don’t have a working stove or oven. One question. Is tuna drained? I’ve used crushed Ritz on top in past. Tks for the recipe.
oops…didnt read the recipe all the way down and added peas to mixture in the beginning…:-/ Hope it turns out ok.
Also used Cheddar Cheese soup because I was out of ShreddedCheese and wasn’t going to go out for just that. Skipped the salt too as both the tuna and the soups have more than enough. Added ground fresh pepper to it tho….a lil’ worried about the peas being added at the beginning… :-/
The ad on this site looks terrible. I’m looking for food recipes not wanting to see a woman’s backside in tight white pants..
I would like to see comments from those who have made the dishes and rates as to how good they are. Most every comment is regarding the inability to print the recipe. Just sayin.
What kind of noodles did you use? (egg or flour) (dry or frozen)
I don’t like tuna so substituted can chicken breast instead!!!!
I made this a couple of days ago and was disappointed. I used frozen noodles since the recipe didn’t specify. The soup/sauce became very pasty and I had to add more or it became quite thick. This happened a few times and I ended up adding more water, then more soup, then more water. It seemed to cook very fast on my lowest setting and I ended up keeping it on the ‘warm’ setting for almost 2 hours to keep it from becoming more thickened and overcooked.
