"Enhanced version of the old stand-by. Tuna noodle casserole has always been a favorite but this "enhanced" version is something special."

ingredients

2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in water
2 (4 1/2 ounce) cans diced green chilies
2 (10 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
1 ¹⁄₄ cups milk
1 (15 ounce) can peas
1 (12 ounce) bag noodles
1 ¹⁄₂ cups Velveeta cheese
chips

directions

Cook noodles until just bearly softened I don't like noodles that are more than al dente.
I finally found a brand that makes noodles that are thicker than usual- I cook them until bearly softened and let them absort the tasty liquid of the casserole.
Meanwhile in a large bowl combine the drained tuna, the green chillis, mushroom soup and milk-.
Stir to combine,then add peas and gently fold in to tuna mixture.
Add noodles.
Stir to combine.
Pour in to 9x13 inches baking dish that has been strayed with PAM.
I usually let the dish set for 30-45 minute at this point so that the noodles can absorb the liquid of the dish.
Put cubed Velveeta evenly on top of tuna mixture.
Cover with foil and bake @ 350 degrees for 45/60 minutes or until bubbly.
Remove foil and sprinkle with crushed chips.-GARDEN SALSA SUNCHIPS-(I couldn't get this accepted).
Return to oven for another 10/15 minutes.
If you're not a tuna fan-try this with stewed chicken breast and cook the noodles in the chicken broth. YUM!
