You’ll be surprised to see just how basic and easy this recipe is. Egg noodles bring the perfect texture, while the Velveeta cheese adds a creamy flavor like no other. Add the Doritos on top for a nice crunch that you’ll fall in love with.

INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

NOODLES: This recipe calls for wide egg noodles, but regular egg noodles can be used instead. Although I’ve never tried any other pasta in this recipe, rotini or penne would work well too.

CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP: We’ve tied a few different combinations of creamed soups in this recipe. While Cream of Mushroom has the best flavor, cream of chicken or even cream of celery would work if that’s what you have on hand.

MILK: Whole milk can be swapped out for 2%, or even half and half depending on how creamy you want it. Of course 2% will make it more liquid in consistency, while whole or half and half will give it a creamier feel.

PEAS AND CARROTS: Canned peas and carrots are the easy way to go for this recipe, but you could always use frozen too! I wouldn’t recommend using fresh peas and carrots, as they would not have time to cook and soften while in the oven for only 20 minutes.

CHEESE: Velveeta Cheese that is cut into small cubes is the best way to make this Cheesy Doritos Cool Ranch Tuna Noodle Casserole, but we understand not everyone is a fan of Velveeta. Feel free to use colby jack, montery jack, or even just straight cheddar in this recipe instead. Just make sure to use enough that you still have an overload of cheese when you dish it up.

      I just went and linked up a few recipes at your party. Thanks for letting me know about it.

      If you wouldn’t mind coming back and linking your party button to on my “Link Parties Page” on the day of the week that you normally host parties that would be great. I didn’t know if this seafood inspired link party was regular or not?

      I’d love for you to link up at my party going on right now too while you’re here 🙂
