Great starting point for a casserole dish. It's a bit plain on its own, but easily improved with some spices. I added garlic and onion powder, black pepper, fresh shiitake mushrooms, chopped celery, and Mexican blended cheese to elevate the flavors. Instead of using potato chips for saltiness, I opted for a topping of Panko breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter for a crispy finish. The breadcrumbs made a significant difference in taste and texture, making the dish really delicious. I made some tweaks to suit my taste preferences like sautéing onions and mushrooms in olive oil before incorporating them and adding a bit of cayenne for a kick. Although the recipe includes tuna for protein, its flavor was not very prominent, and I think canned chicken could be a suitable substitute without compromising taste. The flexibility of using different pasta types such as penne or orzo is noted, but I agree that extra wide noodles work best. Overall, a versatile recipe with room for personalization and experimentation.

I made this dish yesterday and found it to be decent. It turned out a bit dry, which may have been due to me halving the recipe and using a medium casserole dish. Next time, I'll opt for a smaller dish and incorporate more milk. I omitted the pimentos but included extra small peas. Additionally, I mixed in cheddar cheese and black pepper like many others. Today, I made a half portion using Spicy Thai flavored tuna instead of the regular kind, and it was absolutely delicious! For a full recipe, I would suggest using one can of regular tuna and one can of Spicy Thai tuna.

I absolutely love preparing this recipe for meal prep. I like to enhance it by adding half a can of corn, half a bag of frozen spinach, and 1.5 cups of French fried onions to give it more flavor. I noticed some people mentioned it was a bit bland, so I recommend adding garlic powder and black pepper to taste. You can also top it off with breadcrumbs and cheese for an extra touch if you like.

I really enjoyed it the first time, but when I made it again, I replaced one can of cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken. I also added 1/4 cup of butter, salt, and pepper, and skipped the topping. The dish turned out absolutely delicious!

This dish turned out delicious, although I did make a few changes. I added a can of peas, 1/2 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese, as well as garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. I also doubled the amount of the topping, and it was perfect!

I followed the recipe and it turned out great, despite not being a huge fan of tuna casseroles. I'm planning to make it with chicken next time and add some broccoli florets to see how that goes!
