The Best Tuna Noodle Casserole

Ingredients:

6 oz (3 ½ C) medium egg noodles
1 can tuna
½ cup mayonnaise
1 C sliced or diced celery
1/3 C chopped onion
1/4 C chopped red pepper (or green pepper or pimiento)
½ C milk
1 can cream of celery soup
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
½ C toasted (or not) slivered (or chopped) almonds

Directions:

Cook noodles according to package directions and drain. Blend milk and soup, and mix in other ingredients except almonds. Put in 1 ½ quart casserole. Top with almonds (or you can just mix ‘em in, that’s what we usually do). Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.

P.S. Mom would use a little less of everything than it calls for, Dad would use a little more of everything than it calls for, especially cheese. And noodles. And other stuff.
