Spicy Tuna Noodle Casserole
Casseroles are one of my favorite things to make this time of year! There's just nothing like a creamy, cozy, baked dish! This Spicy Tuna Noodle Casserole totally hit the spot! This was easy to make and definitely wooed my family! It was a little bit different than the traditional style, with those crunchy diced jalapeños inside! The creamy pasta, cheesy center, and that potato chip topping - it all came together so beautifully! This is such a classic dish, with some surprising twists!
