   Ok, this is slightly modified from several online recipes I found.    It's my first Tuna Noodle Casserole and it's looking very yummy. Ingredients: 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion 2.5TB Butter 1 large can (12oz) tuny chunk, undrained 1 can 98% fat free condensed cream of mushroom soup 1/2cup Mayonaise 1 cup milk 1 tsp marjoram 12oz Wide Egg Noodle Instructions: Cook wide egg noodles in water for 10 minutes (or until tender) While the noodles are cooking, in a large skillet, melt the butter and saute the onion until tender.  Stir in Tuna, soup, Mayo, milk, and marjoram.  Heat until hot, but don't boil. Mix drained noodles in with contents of skillet and place in 2qt casserole dish. Bake in 350F oven for 25-30minutes or until hot and bubbly. Remove and cool.    Most people will also want to add 1 tsp black pepper, but ShadowCat-X prefers without.   It makes a wonderfull, if basic, dish.  Makes 4 Servings: Calories per serving: 689 Protein per serving: 33g Carbohydrate per serving: 54g Fiber per serving: 2.4 Fat per serving: 36g   Last edited on Wed Sep 21st, 2022 08:26 pm by boojum |

So I just entered my recipe into the CalorieKing RecipeBook and discovered how many calories and how much fat is in a serving.. *ouch* I think I need to start looking at reduced fat alternatives and reduced salt alternatives. Boojum the brown bunny |
