Fern's Classic Tuna Noodle Casserole
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Drain.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Combine the mushroom soup, milk, and tuna in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until well blended and heated through, about 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish; add the noodles and mix well. Top the noodles with cheese food and sprinkle potato chips over the cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes.
