This is great comfort food! My mother used to make this, but she alternated the ingredients in layers; chips, tuna, peas, and soup. Make sure you end with soup on top or it will be too dry.

Thanks Tanya for your comment. My Mom made it that way too, and I had forgotten the order of the layers!

I've made a casserole like this many times before, but this recipe seems much easier because you don't have to make a sauce. Great way to use up old potato chips!

To this, I add Velveeta cheese cubes and crushed red pepper. Been making this since the 60's. Creamy, bit spicy, incredible feel good food.

My mom used to make this but the recipe got lost back in the 60's. I remember the layers (didn't remember the order), didn't recall the peas. I haven't had it since mom lost the recipe but want to try it again (with the peas and other ingredients suggested)

I add some dry sherry to the mushroom soup as well. It perks it up a bit for the adults.

By the time it is baked & eaten, alcohol is gone, just the flavour addition of the sherry remains & it does add another level of flavour profile! My college roommate used to make this for us once a week on our extremely low food budget - always enjoyed it!! Cheese made it stretch for 2 meals, an added bonus!

Simple, delicious, and reminds me of my childhood. My only additions are shredded cheddar cheese between layers of tuna, soup and peas, and chips is to saute chopped celery and onion in butter and add to the mushroom soup as you heat it. Yum! Mama really did know best!

Made this in 1959, always do love it. Serve it with a dinner roll and small tossed salad and piece of pie. Yum!

I LOVE THE TUNA LAYERED CASSEROLE... BUT... Turkey Breast left from extra Roast Turkey - this was substituted for the TUNA... Awesome! Off to the potluck FOOTBALL with the second casserole!

Had this same recipe when we were little and lived on a farm. Mom always added some minced white onions and some cooked carrots. Always looked forward to her tuna casserole. 💖️

I had never had herd of this before. First time my husband made it for me, I almost gauged. But being raised not to criticize anyone's cooking, especially if your not having to cook it, I tried it, and it is good. I was surprised. So now I look forward to his tuna casserole. And I work in a group home and do most of the cooking, and I make this for them, but I do add onions and peas, so it will have some color and my clients love it.

Herd is spelled HEARD. Gauged is GAGGED.

Wow! Don't you have anything better to do that to correct spelling?

Thank you Kathy. We women must build each other up. I think Carleene's story was cute. I understood it. I don't sweat the small stuff.

I think we all knew what Carleene meant! LOL Yes this is a great old recipe-I'm going to try a little onion next time.

My mom used frozen peas and a "palm-ful" of dry minced onions. No layers - just dumped and stirred. She'd put half of the crushed chips into the sloppy mix and half (with maybe a bit extra) on top as a crunchy crust. Easy peas-y :)

Always a favorite since I was a child. Usually had the peas on the side not in the casserole. Now my grandchildren are enjoying it.

Does anyone remember that this used to be printed on the bag of Lays Potato Chips? I made it a lot of times.

Beth you are aging yourself :) And yes I do remember that too. :)

OMG :) I've ate this since I was a child and I don't remember it being on the chip bag though and I'm 49. It may have been and I was just too young to know or remember.

Love this! My Mom used to make this as well but I forgot the peas. I made it for my roommates and they loved it, but with my daughter, skip the peas - lol. Great comfort food for any cold day, even in Florida. Thanks for the return to my childhood!!

First made this in 8th grade HomeEc cooking casseroles in 1957. Was printed on a chip bag. Been a favorite for whole family 60 years!

I've made the layered tuna / potato chip casserole since the 60's, except the version I used called for shredded cheese on top. I lost the recipe years ago. This is a very filling dish and my family loved it!
