Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes or until hot. Stir. (I usually don&#8217;t stir, but you can)<br \/>\n3. Mix Hint of Salt Ritz with butter in bowl (I use a glass measuring cup) and sprinkle over tuna mixture. Bake for 5 minutes more.<br \/>\n4. Add pepper or other seasonings to taste.<\/p>\n<p>*<br \/>\n<strong>TIPS<\/strong><br \/>\n*<br \/>\nFor a Cheese Topping: In place of or in addition to buttered crackers, top with 1\/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese over hot casserole.<br \/>\n*<br \/>\nFor Chicken Noodle Casserole: Substitute about 2 cups cooked cubed chicken or Swanson\u00ae Chunk Chicken, drained, for tuna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an old favorite for some people &#8212; or it makes them groan, depending upon how much of a staple it was at various times in their life.\u00a0 You can find the basic recipe we worked with here.\u00a0 After adjusting for Mr. L&#8217;s preferences, this is what we have: <span class=\"excerpt-dots\">&hellip;<\/span> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/tuna-noodle-casserole\/\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-a-z-challenge"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6194"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14779,"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6194\/revisions\/14779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
