SANDY D'AMATO'S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE (LIGHTER)

Sandy D'amato's Tuna Noodle Casserole (Lighter) image

For the Make it Lighter Game, I've lightened up WI Cheesehead's "Recipe #203659" By changing to low-fat or fat-free versions of the dairy products, omiting the olives and using baked chips for topping. This is now lighter and healthier.
