Jalapeno Tuna Noodle Casserole

Jalapeno Tuna Noodle Casserole has a nice spicy kick. It’s super creamy and cheesy and loaded with jalapenos. The crushed jalapeno-flavored potato chip topping is my favorite part.

This recipe is super easy to make. It’s a pretty standard Tuna Casserole recipe that is really kicked up in flavor and heat with jalapenos. A couple of cans of canned soup make it really creamy.

1. Cook the pasta. Be sure to salt the water.

4. Sprinkle the chips and reserved cheddar cheese on top and bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes.

Recipe Tips

• Any pasta shape can be used for this recipe. I like cavatappi, but elbows or shells work well too.
• For extra spice, you can replace half the cheddar cheese with Pepper Jack cheese.
• I love peas in Tuna Noodle Casserole, but you can leave them out or replace them with green beans.
• If you can’t find jalapeno-flavored potato chips, you can use regular potato chips.
• Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days but the potato chip topping will get soggy.

Be sure to try this From Scratch Tuna Noodle Casserole if you don’t like using canned soups.
