Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

There's something about a tuna casserole that hits the spot. Perhaps it's the creamy sauce, or the crunchy potato chip topping. Whatever the reason, this dish has been a classic for generations.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

I have been making this since I left home at 19. Mom made this for as long as I can remember. It was always delicious, she always added a jar of sliced pimentos which adds a great flavor. Love it! 😋😋😋

A very basic, easy to make dish. Still, it tasted great. Although as is, the recipe makes a very scant four servings. I would consider doubling it next time. I used lower-salt, baked potato chips. Highly recommended!

i have enjoyed making this recipe since my aunt taught it to me back in 1956. i was staying with her and my uncle in tyler texas where he had the 1st baptist church and was going to the seminary in houston. when i came home and made this for my family, my father and mother loved the dish. it became a weekly dish i made. i still make the dish today for me and my husband but i have changed it by adding cheese (x-sharp cheddar cheese shredded) to the recipe. i put about a 1/2 cup in the tuna ingredients and then i top with another 1/2 cup on top of the chips. i recommend this for a quick easy dish to make on a busy day when you are rushed. it is kid friendly and everyone will enjoy it. mary king ashville, ala.
