Not Your Mama’s Tuna Noodle Casserole

7 Comments

What’s better than tuna casserole? How about tuna casserole with blue cheese, fresh off of the cob sweet corn, Shiitake mushrooms and zucchini? Nothing like shaking things up, right? This is definitely not your mama’s tuna noodle casserole, but a wonderful upscale hearty version that is full of incredible flavors for the foodie in you.  This recipe was prepared by my good friends from over at A Worthey Read and they were nice enough to let me host it here on our site to share with you.  Check out D & Tat’s great food, travel adventures and more on their site!

Tuna Noodle Casserole

My Beau loves tuna noodle casserole, and since it isn’t something I enjoy I confess I don’t make it very often. When I heard about this great take on it, I was pretty sure it would be something he would love.
He also loves mushrooms and blue cheese – a couple of other things that aren’t on my list of faves.  So, not only was this a recipe I wanted to share here with you – I knew it would be one I would eventually make at home.

I love how he used shiitake and zucchini to really bump up the hearty veggie flavor in this.  If your kids are picky about veggies, this is definitely a direction to go to get them to eat the without fussing.  Blue cheese was definitely an addition I never would have considered, but according to those who tested it – it works beautifully!  It sure looks delicious!
