A staple in The Pierce house growing up
Pop's Manly Reel Tune-A-Fishy Noodley Casserole
Why it's on our list
Many of our guests have recounted having tuna noodle casserole for dinner growing up but few have claimed it as their favorite dish until we had on siblings Sophie & Brandon Pierce. Sophie made a vow on Episode 32 saying "I'd love to bring the casserole back because they were wonderful and must have been a perfect thing to feed your family. You're getting in all kinds of courses into one meal. Easy! We got to bring it back!"
Sophie said that now a days Momma June has retired her 9x13 casserole dish and that her Dad has taken those childhood recipes and revamped them. So introducing Pop's Manly Reel Tune-A-Fishy Noodley Casserole!
