Ingredients
12 ounces egg noodles
1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked, or more to taste
½ cup sour cream
½ cup milk, divided
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton®)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®), or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces, divided
8 ounces ridged potato chips (such as Ruffles®)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (Optional)
Directions
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.
Mix cooked noodles with tuna, sour cream, 1/4 cup milk, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Lay 1/2 of the butter across the bottom of a 2-quart, microwave-safe casserole dish. Crush potato chips, then sprinkle 1/4 of the crushed chips over the bottom and press to flatten.
Spread the tuna-noodle mixture in a single layer over the crushed chips. Layer with 1/2 of the mozzarella, 2/3 of the remaining chips, followed by the remaining butter, chips, milk, and mozzarella.
Microwave on high until casserole is hot and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
Cook's Notes:
A reduced amount of garlic salt can be used in place of garlic powder, if preferred.
You can cook this in the oven instead of the microwave. Cook at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until chips are golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes.
