Made this recipe using Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs. It is SO delicious that I’m having a friend over for dinner tonight so I can see big smiles from your tasty recipe. Also, I love your video! You have charm, girl!

Made this tonight! I’d forgotten how good it is, and your recipe is tops! Tuna noodle casserole got me through college…although as college kids we often skipped the vegetables! Tonight I didn’t have enough peas, so I made up the difference with corn and it was so tasty. Gonna buy some more peas tomorrow. Thanks, Pam! Love your videos.
