Can't forget the potato chips!

3 cups medium noodles (4 oz.)

1 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 - 3 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard

2 1/4 cups milk

1 12 ounce can chunk tuna, drained

1/2 cup bottled roasted red sweet peppers, chopped

Potato chips, optional

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In large saucepan cook noodles according to package directions. Drain; return noodles to pan.

2. For sauce, in medium saucepan cook celery and onion in hot butter until tender. Stir in flour, mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add milk all at once; cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly, whisking to remove any lumps.

3.  Gently fold sauce, tuna, and peppers into noodles. Transfer to lightly greased 1-1/2-quart baking dish. Top with chips. Bake, uncovered, 30 to 35 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 5 minutes.

I had to add cheese too!

Karl's reaction: "Could use juuuuust a little bit more salt babe."

My take: I felt like this needed a little bit of lemon and some dill or something. Otherwise it was pretty good!
