It was really good! Have made it to recipe and a few different ways. Don't need to add extra salt - tuna has enough. Substitute whole wheat egg noddles or mix whole wheat egg noddles with regular egg noodles to get more fiber. Add LOL low fat or fat free sour cream or LOL yogurt to cut calories. Another idea for a great topper but adds the calories- melt 2 TBS LOL butter, add equal parts bread crumbs and grated parmesan or asiago cheese and top casserole. Hope these ideas help you enjoy as much as my family does!
