Notes

One: Storage

Store the cooled leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to two months.

Two: Stovetop

Combine the sauce ingredients in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the frozen peas and tuna. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked egg noodles.

Three: Crockpot

Cook the egg noodles for 1-2 minutes less than called for on the package. In a large crockpot, combine the sauce ingredients. Stir in the frozen peas, tuna, and noodles. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until hot.

Four: With Rice

Substitute the cooked egg noodles with three cups of cooked rice.

Five: Freezer Casserole

Prepare the casserole in a metal pan, but don't add the topping, and don't bake the casserole. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking. Remove from fridge 30 minutes prior to baking, add the topping, and bake as directed, adding additional time if needed.
