Tuna casserole is a classic comfort food dish. It's also excellent for feeding a family on a budget, making use of pantry items you can stock up on at the warehouse store, or when they are on sale at the supermarket.
For this recipe, grab canned tuna and cream of celery soup from your pantry and frozen peas from your freezer. You'll need time to cook the egg noodles before adding them to the slow cooker. It's easy to throw together and offers lots of variation with substitutes you might have in the pantry.
