Love this recipe. Easy to prepare, makes heaps and can be easily adjusted. I add extra veggies, and use cream of chicken and corn soup which added an extra depth of flavour. Very tasty and makes alot. I usually pre cook the pasta first and then add it in. Personal preference.

Fantastic and super easy recipe.

Super easy to make, used chicken soup instead of mushroom as hubby does not like that.

We partly doubled the recipe … double soup, double tuna, double water, double cheese, extra pepper (no salt) but stuck with 300ml of cream. I also choose to add pasta and shallots only for the final hour.
It was a huge hit even with the two supposed ‘tuna haters’ who both had seconds hahaha
Great family feed!

I haven’t tried this yet but I’m definitely going to. When I was growing up mum use to cook this and I loved it but she use to add some curry powder and chopped up hard boiled eggs 😋❤

Outstandingly delicious! Super impressed with how scrumptious this recipe was 😋😍 I made a few adjustments to suit our familys tastes – I used cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom soup, added an extra 400mls of cream, 1 tsp of curry powder and a good squirt of mayonnaise. I added the pasta with 1hr to go, cooked on high for 3.5hrs in total. I also added a squirt of lemon juice when adding the grated cheese (as suggested in a previous review) and omitted the salt completely. Will definitely make this again,
✅ Great recipe Wendy Herne, thanks for sharing it 😊

We love this recipe but I did find that the pasta became very soggy when I added it at the beginning. I now add it about 45 minutes before serving and it turned out fine. I also add broccoli if I have some.

What size (ml/Oz) can of condensed soup did you use? They vary around the world.

I cooked this last night and it was absolutely beautiful. Next time I’ll double the ingredients so we have seconds.

Very tasty! Used cream asparagus soup instead of the mushroom, added a bit more corn and a pack of mixed frozen veges I wanted to use up to it. Big hit

Absolutely love this! I’ve changed the Mushroom soup to cream of chicken and found it much nicer to be honest! Yes mixing tuna with cream of chicken soup sounds strange but it totally worked a treat 😃😃

Made it awhile back was great. Changed it up and did chicken bacon and mushroom instead of tuna. Sensational. Any one know the calories for the tuna recipe here

Definitely going to be a regular in my house now!!! Soooooo easy!!
Both Hubby and 7 year old miss loved it.
Used Cream of Chicken soup due to mushroom allergies and swapped the corn and peas to 2 cups of frozen mixed vegies, might add more next time 😉
I just served it with some brown rice.
Thankyou!!!!!

Just a quick question do you have to use shallots?
Tammy

We had this yesterday. I used cooking cream rather than evaporated milk, and cream of chicken soup rather than the mushroom.
Added a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice when I added the cheese, which gave a lovely zing and also helped cut through the creaminess.
Delish! Will definitely do this again!

this was really tasty, instead of cream and corn kernals i used creamed corn and it cooked on low for 2 hours glad i was home as it started sticking to the edge, but was a great dish

This was absolutely delicious. My 5 and 8 year olds loved it too. I used a diced brown onion instead of the shallots and only needed 4 hours on low for me.

This was so easy and tasty. I had to add a little more liquid later on in the cook as it was a little too thick to cook the pasta through and I would halve the cheese next time but was really good.

Awesome dish! Love it, fussy toddler ate two bowls. Next time I’m going to leave out water and tuna brine and cook pasta separately just to el dente and see how that turns out.

I HATE Tuna with a passion….. Family luvs it tho. Decided to make this for them as I had no idea what I wanted to cook for dinner!!! I decided to try it to see if the pasta was cooked. OMG…. I cant tell you how much I devoured straight from the cooker!!!! Everyone luved it too. This stuff is pure heaven!!!! Wendy Herne you are an angel. This is now a once a week meal. Thankyou so much. I still dont like tuna but I sure do luv this! If i could give it 20 stars out of 5 I would!!

Made this the other night and invited my fiancées mum, brother and 4yo sister over, the 4yo DEMOLISHED her bowl and everyone asked for seconds, also served it with a salad. Such a hit in this household, I’m making it again tomorrow morning, setting the slow cooker on while I’m at work! Woohoo!

Try replacing the Mushroom soup with Asparagus or celery soup
Liz K

So good. Demolished by my family of 2A and 3C aged 4 to 14. 5 hrs was to long for my cooker, 3.5 to 4 is more likely. Thought it would be salty, but wasn’t. Definitely will be done again (& again…)

This was really good ! I was a bit concerned it would have too much fluid in it but all that was absorbed by the pasta. Yum!

I made this last week. Got four meals out of it. I did freeze it, as I’m on my own, didn’t want to eat it four days in a row
