Tuna Noodle Casserole

Cast Iron Tuna Noodle Casserole is the ultimate simplicity for a one pot dinner. We’ve added a few touches of our own to add something extra to a sometimes bland dish. Some cheese and Panko bread crumbs gives the top a nice brown crust, and a dab of lemon dill aioli adds a lot of flavor. Some  green peas added to the mix lends some color to the whole thing. Give it whirl for your family some time. You won’t be disappointed. If you really want knock this up a notch, substitute some of Gordy Evan’s Spicy Cajun Remoulade for the Aioli. Happy Casserole’s.
