Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 - 5 oz cans albacore tuna
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 teaspoons herb and garlic seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons flour mixed with an equal amount of water to make a slurry
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 6 oz egg noodles
  • 4 oz potato chips crushed

Instructions

  • Drain tuna and add to slow cooker
  • Add remaining ingredients except chips to slow cooker and stir to combine
  • Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours
  • Stir occasionally to ensure noodles cook evenly
  • As soon as noodles are cooked, add crushed chips to the top
  • Vent the lid and turn on high for 15-20 minutes to heat through all ingredients

Notes

  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. You can freeze this casserole, but leave the crushed potato chip topping off of the dish. Keep in mind that the noodles will soften and change texture after being frozen.
  • Microwave in short increments or reheat in the oven until warmed through. If removing from the freezer, be sure to allow time to defrost in the refrigerator before reheating.
