Braces Friendly Recipe: Week 10

We hope everyone has had a great week so far. Just one more day until the weekend is here! This week's recipe is a great one for people who just got their braces on, or who have had an adjustment recently and have sore teeth. The recipe comes from Pamela and Brenda Waterman's "The Braces Cookbook" (pg 39).

Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole

2 1/2 cups medium or wide egg noodles

water for boiling noodles

2 (7 oz.) cans tuna (drained and flaked apart)

2 (10 3/4 oz.) cans undiluted cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup

2/3 cup milk

1/2 cup of your choice: crushed Ritz or Saltine crackers, potato chips, or bread crumbs (with 1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 40 minutes, covered.

In a large pot, boil water and cook noodles until not quite tender. Grease a 2-quart casserole and stir in the noodles, tuna, and soup. Pour milk over noodle mixture. Sprinkle with the crackers, chips, or crumb mixture. Cover and bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Serves six.
