I'm sure most of us have had tuna noodle casserole at one time or another growing up. It's a Campbell's classic that's been around for generations. Although I can do without the pimentos and I most certainly (being a cheese lover) have to add in my cheese.
Would you believe though that I've never ever been a fan of pimento cheese....yuk. I've just never liked the taste and cringed when my mom would make pimento cheese sandwiches and I of course had to eat it, detesting every bite. I grew up in the South and until now really had no idea that it was what some call a "Southern Thang". I should have known..lol I've never heard the phrase "pimento cheese" even uttered since I've lived up North.
Am I alone on this one or are you a huge fan of them? I'll admit I've never ate it as an adult and I do like each ingredient so I think I may have to enlighten myself as tastes do change. This one I found on food network - Bobby's Pimento Cheese sounds like a great place to start.
Ingredients
2 cups dry egg noodles cooked and drained
2 cans Tuna drained
1 can cream of mushroom or cream of celery
1/2 cup milk or half n half
1 can peas drained - I prefer Le Sueur Sweet Peas
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs mixed with 1-2 tbsp melted butter
salt/pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Spray casserole dish with Pam. Mix all of your ingredients together in a bowl except for the bread crumbs. Spread your mix into your casserole dish and top with your bread crumbs and bake uncovered for about 30 minutes.
Enjoy! Simple weeknight dinner are grand aren't they?
