    Instant Pot Tuna Noodle Casserole

    February 9, 2022 by Kristin 14 Comments

    This Instant Pot Tuna Noodle Casserole is quick to prepare, packed with flavor, and a classic family dish that everyone will enjoy!

    tuna, cheese, and tender noodles cooked in the instant pot

    If you scroll through my recipes, you will quickly realize that my family LOVES a good Instant Pot meal! Not only does it help me get dinner on the table in no time, but Instant Pot can make just about anything! Appetizers, desserts, meats, soups, pasta dishes, and more!

    Instant Pot Tuna Noodle Casserole is comfort food that fills you up and tastes so creamy and delicious! Tender noodles, bits of tuna, veggies, and cheese combined into one flavor packed meal!

    Tuna Casserole is one of those classic dishes everyone loves! Growing up, it was a meal that my mom included in her meal rotation and the entire family enjoyed!

    As years pass and I am now a mom of my own, I have changed things up a bit to fit the preferences of my kids. My daughter is allergic to peas; therefore, I use corn in this meal! If you like peas, feel free to use! I also love to add in extra cheese for an added creaminess!

    If you have an Instant Pot, check out these other great recipes:

    Frequently asked questions:

    What if I don’t have an Instant Pot? No worries! I have a baked version HERE!!

    What type of veggie can I add into this? I stick with corn; however, you can also use peas, green beans, carrots, broccoli, and more!

    Are there any substitutions for the half and half? Yep! Use milk in place of the half and half. It works just as good and tends to be my go-to!

    Any additions I can add to enhance flavor even more? You can add more cheese, change up the type of cheese, add in some French-Fried Onions, and even add an extra can of tuna!
