I know it sounds bonkers, but trust me, this tuna casserole is one of the yummiest things ever. A comfort food bonanza! Before this, Grandma had never written out this recipe. She doesn't measure anything when cooking this, but it must be tasted throughout.

Ingredients

  • ounces egg noodles: 12 piece
  • tuna: 1 can (drained and flaked, 5 ounce can, to taste)
  • sour cream: 0.5 cup
  • milk: 0.5 cup (divided)
  • dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton®): 1 pack (1 ounce pack)
  • Worcestershire sauce: 1 tsp
  • garlic powder: 0.25 tsp (to taste)
  • seasoned salt (such as Lawry's®): 0.125 tsp (to taste)
  • salt and ground black pepper: (to taste)
  • butter: 2 Tbsp (cut into small pieces, divided)
  • ounces ridged potato chips (such as Ruffles®): 8 piece
