Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipe). This was a favorite in my home growing up and now it's a favorite of my family as well. I double the recipe these days for my husband and three children. For a change of pace I add canned chopped green chilies and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, use pasta shells or spirals, or top the casserole with sliced American or cheddar cheese instead of breadcrumbs.
