History

Casseroles became a popular household dish in the 1950s mainly because the ingredients were cheap and easy to find at the store. A can of tuna, a can of vegetables, a can of soup, and a package of egg noodles becomes a prepared family dinner after 35 minutes. Tuna casserole can also be frozen or refrigerated and then reheated to be eaten the next day. Tuna casserole is a popular dish to take to potlucks. In small communities, it may be taken to the home of someone who is sick or going through bereavement as a gesture of kindness.

While every tuna casserole is different, historically tuna casserole is made with egg noodles, chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen green peas, canned and drained tuna, condensed cream of mushroom soup, sliced mushrooms and crushed potato chips. The cooked noodles, onion, cheese, peas, tuna, soup and mushrooms are mixed in a baking dish, with the potato chips and more cheese sprinkled on top, and then cooked.
