It's the first time using the Foodi for tuna casserole, but I used your recipe, adapted with my own and the results were fast and delicious. Three cups chicken stock, medium wide noodles...I use a whole can of cream of mushroom soup, a block of cream cheese, and steam cook my vegetables ahead of time. The cook times were perfectly spot on...very impressive.

[@kiki29073]

I don't use preshedded cheese much anymore. What I do is when shredding cheese I shred extra while I'm at it. Usually all that I have and out it in an airtight container or bag and refrigerate. I'll have it ready for the next week or two. I'll do the same when chopping some veggies and onions. Things that I use often in recipes.

[@valerieneal2747]

I like shredding my own cheese too. The previous shredded heese has cellulose in it (that white grainy film) in it to keep it from clumping. President shredded heese doesn't taste good. I don't like it.

[@cynthiapahnka1214]

KEEPER! I haven't made this for years because I didn't think the "food critics" at my house would eat it. Well...this recipe & technique is a definite game changer. It's creamy & delish!

[@joyfulnoise6556]

I grew up eating Tuna Noodle Casserole all the time. But I just can't get by the cheese. i know MANY people add cheese, but it just never had it that way growing up. And most of my friends mom's made it too, but none of them added cheese. My dad hates peas, so we never had them at home, but I knew that was a common thing to add. I have tried it with cheese, but it's just wrong to my tastes. I think I will have to try the mixed veggies though, I can definitely see that as a possible enhancement. I find it interesting how most of us have our different backgrounds on such a common dish. My husband grew up just 4 hours away, in the same state, and they added cheese all the time. It's also funny how just a single ingredient, that a person likes, can seem so wrong in a particular dish. I "say" this all just to show why many people love your style, you are always sure to tell everyone to make any changes they want to make it work for them. Keeping things simple is why it works with almost all of your recipes. Thanks for keeping it simple for the oddballs like me.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

It is very interesting how food memories are etched into our brain and I'm a firm believer in there isn't any one "right" way to make something. It's right if you love it!

[@buttercup19fl28]

This look really good !! My mom accidentally left my frozen mixed vegetables in the refrigerator, wonder if I can still use that if it's safe? If I don't have 3 cups of vegetable oil what can use? Is 3 cups of Olive oil OK? Can't wait till I try this. Thanks for the recipe! 👋😀

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The vegetables should be fine. I don't use 3 cups of any oil in this recipe, so I'm not sure how to answer that question. Here is the written recipe and let me know if you need clarification on anything. thesaltedpepper.com/easy-tuna-noodle-casserole/

Goodness it was a hit, everything about this plate was absolutely wonderful. My family and I enjoyed it very much. I'll definitely be making more of this in the near future for my friend's.

I have a pressure cooker but not an air fryer yet. I'm wanting to add one but, now that I see there are combo units I believe I want one of those. I'm researching which is the best.

Evelyn Horsley, I am keto as well, what about spaghetti squash. I’d cook it first and then combine the ingredients and then air fry. You could use crushed pork rinds for the topping.😊

[@1954evelyn]

@@gennesamann4323 Yes I love to use pork rinds as breading and topping. I will have my son-in-law pick me up a spaghetti squash I hadn't thought of that. I am experimenting on some noodles made from lupin flour and almond flour the ones I tried last night weren't too bad I did dehydrate them for 3 hours before I cooked them. Thinking this might be an option. I can also see subbing canned chicken as an option for the casserole.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I think it would be good with cauliflower florets instead of the pasta. The directions would be different though. Probably best done with the sear/sauté so you control the cook of the cauliflower. Less liquid of course. Plain cheese topping or crushed pork rinds.

am i wrong but you said 8 oz of noodles, but that looks like a 4 cup measuring cup which works out to 32 oz.

[@sheriwright1625]

I agree with Maryann and have the same question for Louise. You said the recipe calls for 8 oz of pasta (egg noodles) but the measuring cup you used in the video looked to be a 32 oz pitcher and it was filled to the top. Please reply and tell us how much pasta to use. I will be making this with GF penne. Thank you, Louise!

[@Ozziecatsmom]

I think a box or bag of pasta/ noodles is measured in weight not volume. So a bag of pasta that weighs 8 oz could measure differently depending on the size of piece. A bag of tiny noodles could measure 1 cup while bigger noodles could measure 2 cups. I hope this makes sense:)

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Volume and weight are two different things. 8 ounces of this pasta equals about 4 cups of volume. Think of it this way. 1 volume cup of rocks weighs more than 1 volume cup of feathers. Measuring cups are volume based and have nothing to do with the weight of an item. The packaging for dried pasta is weight based, so you use 8 ounces weighed. Now, you don't have to weigh it of course. If your bag says 8 ounces, use the whole thing. If it says 16 ounces, use half.
