Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles

¼ cup butter, or more to taste

1 small onion, diced

2 slices bacon, diced

2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked

¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups chicken stock

½ cup milk

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup frozen corn

½ cup chopped celery

½ cup chopped cashews

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9×13-inch casserole dish.

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes.

At the same time, melt 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bacon and cook until onion is tender and bacon is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Whisk in chicken stock, milk, mayonnaise, and soy sauce until combined. Remove from the heat and transfer sauce mixture to a large bowl.

Drain pasta and add to the sauce mixture. Stir in Cheddar cheese, corn, celery, cashews, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish and spread crushed Ritz® crackers over top.

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You can use frozen peas in place of corn, if preferred.
