Tuna Casserole

Tuna casserole is an American dish consisting of pasta or noodles, canned tuna, various vegetables, and creamed, condensed soup. After the casserole has been baked, it is often topped with potato chips, crumbled crackers, or breadcrumbs in order to provide extra crunch. The dish gained popularity during the 1950s because the ingredients were affordable and inexpensive, while the whole casserole could easily feed a whole family in about 30 minutes. It can also be frozen and prepared later, making it a great convenience food and a potluck staple.
