Big Tuna Casserole is not your momma's typical bland bake (love you anyway, mom). It has big flavor, big crunch, and well, it's pretty big--it can feed at least six people. You have to have a pretty hefty appetite, too, when digging into the creamy, savory roux that covers soft, fluffy egg noodles and flakey, tender tuna topped with the perfect bread crumb crunch. Sounds mighty filling, doesn't it?! I guess you could say this delicious Big Tuna Casserole is a pretty big deal (mom will agree, too)!
