Description

There is just something about old school classic meals that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Things like tuna casserole, meatloaf, mac and cheese, beef stroganoff, and sooo many more. I feel like Mrs. Cleaver or Wilma Flinstone. OK, maybe not Wilma . . . but you know what I mean.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Noodles Of Your Choice, 12-16 Ounce Package
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 cups Milk Or Combination Of Milk And Stock Or Heavy Cream
  • 2 cups Grated Cheese, Any Kind You Like, I Used Cheddar And Monterey Jack
  • ½ teaspoons Salt And Pepper, More Or Less To Taste
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg, Freshly Grated (optional)
  • 2 stalks Celery, Chopped
  • 2 cups Broccoli, Chopped
  • 1 whole Small Onion, Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Grated On Micro Plane
  • 1 Tablespoon Capers (optional)
  • 2 cans ( 6 Oz Cans) Tuna, Drained

Preparation

Chop your veggies and while you are chopping your veggies you should be boiling your noodles. Just cook them according to package instructions and once the noodles have boiled drain them and set them aside while you make your sauce.

In a saucepan combine your butter and flour over medium to medium high heat and mix around for about 2 minutes to cook out the flour taste. Whisk in your milk, cream or a combo of both and whisk until all the lumps are gone. (This is called a roux) Add cheese and whisk until smooth. Now add salt and pepper to taste, nutmeg, all veggies, grated garlic and capers, and tuna. Cook until sauce is very thick and veggies are tender, about 5 minutes. Toss in noodles and stir until all noodles are coated with sauce!! Serve
