This is one of the best tuna casseroles I've made! I left out the onion (personal pref) and used the optional red pepper and cheddar (on top). I was trying to use stuff from the pantry so I used some penne pasta that I had, plus a handful of noodles. This is so creamy and flavorful, and so quick to make from ingredients I always have on hand. Thanks for posting this great recipe! Made for the Best of 2008 event

We all loved this tuna casserole. This morning we were fighting over who got to take the leftovers for lunch today. I used all the ingredients except I didn't have the cream cheese when it finally came to making it so I just used an extra cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese. I added some garlic powder for personal taste. The topping of cheese with bread crumbs really added a wonderful finish.
