This article is going to list a few casserole recipes that I think any family can enjoy. Some people shudder at the word "casserole," however there are many great recipes that people simply aren't aware of! A casserole can be savory or sweet, crunch or soft. There are just so many great and unique combinations! Casseroles are a great way to use up extra food items in a way that will feed families big and small, with the potential for leftovers the next day! Plus, an easy casserole dish is just the ticket for busy moms and dads who simply can't spend hours cooking for a family!
Tuna Casserole

In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles and frozen peas until al dente, then drain. Pour the noodle and pea mixture back into the pot, then add the mushroom soup, onions, cheese, and tuna. Stir until well mixed, then serve.

In a large bowl, mix together the soup, mayonnaise, and milk. Mix well, then spread over the top of the cabbage and onions. Sprinkle with cheese and the rest of the corn flakes.
