Odd Culinary Proclivities of the Past

[Chef455]

Though I certainly wouldn't refer to it as "elegant", I think the recipe sounds pretty good. I may try it. I'm a big fan of Tuna Noodle Casserole, and this sounds like a pretty good alternative.
For others who may be interested and can't read it, here's a transcript of this 1958 recipe:

2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup water
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
two 7-oz. cans tuna, flaked with oil
1/2 cup grated sharp cheese
1 tbsp. chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped pimiento
1/3 cup chopped celery

Heat oven to 400 degrees (moderately hot).
Grease a 9" square baking dish or 11 x 7" baking dish or 9" ring mold.
Blend Bisquick, milk, water, eggs, salt and pepper. Beat vigorously 30 seconds.
Mix in 1 1/2 cans tuna, 1/4 cup cheese, onion, pimiento and celery.
Spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheese over top.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Serve with Tuna Sauce in center. 8 servings.
Tuna Sauce: Gradually add 1 cup evaporated milk and 2/3 cup water to 2 tbsp. Bisquick,
1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper and remaining 1/2 can tuna. Heat and serve.

Do it. Thus far I believe I'm the only one that has executed on of the recipes on the thread. For what it's worth it doesn't sound inedible. Tuna casserole has been served by my parents from time to time as well.

No real recipe, it's all prepackaged.
Egg noodles boiled, a can of Campbells Cream of mushroom soup, a can of tuna, a can of green peas mixed in a bowl.
Pour all in a casserole and top with grated cheddar, bake till it's hot.

Do you have a good recipe for tuna noodle casserole? My friend's mom made a delicious one but I never got the recipe.

Variation:
1 box Macaroni & cheese
1 large can tuna
1 small can cream of mushroom soup
(Like most any casserole, you can add whatever & top with more cheese)

Cook mac & cheese, add soup and drained tuna. Stir & serve. Some people prefer cold, I like mine when its still warm.
