Skillet Casserole

Customize to your heart’s content

I have been craving tuna casserole lately but have not been in the mood to start up the oven. I found an interesting recipe over on Campbell’s and it worked a treat. Upon reflection, however, I thought that the basic recipe could be adapted to whatever you had on hand.

Servings 5

Ingredients

  • tbsp butter
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced thin
  • 1 10.5 ounce can Cream Of … Soup use your favorite
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup UNCOOKED medium pasta small shells would work
  • 10 ounces cooked protein canned tuna, chicken, left over roast
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup seasoned croutons, crushed

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.  Add the celery and cook for 5 minutes or until tender-crisp.
  • Stir in the soup, water and uncooked pasta and heat to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low.  Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the tuna and 1/3 cup cheese and cook until the mixture is hot.  Season with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle with the croutons and the remaining 1/3 cup cheese (the heat from the pasta mixture will melt the cheese).

Notes

Customize based on what you have on hand.
  • canned tuna
  • canned chicken
  • left over roast chicken, pork or beef
Use whatever cream soup or make your own.
Add in some frozen vegetables during the last 5 minutes.
Instead of croutons, use chow mein noodles.
