  • 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.
