TUNA COTTAGE CHEESE CASSEROLE

This recipe is from the 1950’s and is from a Borden’s cheese advertisement. I like tuna and I like cottage cheese, but I am dubious about them being together in a recipe, but it is an interesting idea.

INGREDIENTS                                                    
3 cups cooked medium noodles
7 ounce can tuna, drained and flaked
8 ounce package cottage cheese
4 tablespoon butter or margarine
3 tablespoons flour
1teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 ½ cups milk
Paprika


DIRECTIONS

Place half the noodle in a buttered 2 quart baking dish. Cover noodles with half the tuna and half the cottage cheese. Repeat layers.
Melt butter over lower heat, remove from heat and blend in flour and seasonings. Gradually stir in milk, mixing until well blended. Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens.
Pour milk mixture over noodles in dish and sprinkle top with paprika.
Bake in 375 degree over for 25 minutes, makes 4 to 6 servings.
