• 2 - 5 Ounces (oz) cans tuna, drained
• 10.75 Ounces (oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, packaged
• 10.75 Ounces (oz) can condensed cream of celery soup, packaged
• 1.25 Cups milk
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt

Steps

1. Boil the pasta in lightly salted water for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain well and return the pasta to the pot.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2.5-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
3. In a medium saucepan, mix the tuna, cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic. Heat over medium-low heat until warmed through. Alternatively, you can warm these ingredients in a microwave-safe dish.
4. Combine the tuna mixture with the pasta. Spread half of the noodle mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Arrange the cheese slices over the noodles, then spread the remaining noodle mixture over the cheese. Top with crushed potato chips.
5. Bake uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and the chips begin to brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
