Old-Fashioned Chow Mein Tuna Bake Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Do you have childhood memories of tuna casserole? This particular tuna casserole was a dinner staple in the 1960s, relying on chow mein noodles to give body to the dish and are also sprinkled on top to provide crunch. Onions and celery are the vegetables in the casserole. Some moms would include canned water chestnuts for more crunch and chinese influence. A common variation was to use potato chips instead of the chow mein noodles. But either choice will provide the crunch on top for texture. You can enjoy this as a simple comfort food supper served with a green salad. Or, think of taking it as a '60s throwback dish to a potluck.
