Which means I have to basically cook for 8 people at dinner.  While other people collect recipes that serve a crowd for taking to church potlucks and baby showers, I collect recipes that serve a crowd just to get my family fed every night!

This recipe from Campbell’s Kitchen for Crowd-Pleasing Tuna Noodle Casserole makes 8 generous servings, which gets everyone fed and usually means a scoop leftover for me to have for lunch the next day.  I serve it with extra steamed peas and Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.
