One of my favorite dishes to prepare during Lent is Tuna Casserole. Tuna casserole is even better when you mix cooked egg noodles into it. This recipe gets a lot of its flavor from cream of chicken soup, celery, and onion. The ingredients are mixed in a bowl and then placed in a baking dish and topped with cheese and crushed potato chips. I love adding potato chips because it adds a nice crunch to the dish. I recommend putting them on just before taking it out of the oven so that they are still crispy. Enjoy.
