1 can tuna, including juice
1 can cream mushroom soup
1/2 - 1 c. chopped celery, depending on your family's like for celery
     *note: Put celery in microwave for 30 secs in a covered dish, to speed cooking time
1/4 c. water
1/3 c. onion, diced, or 1 1/2 t. dried onion, minced (break flakes if you have to)
4 oz can. sliced mushrooms
1 T. soy sauce
4 oz can water chestnuts
8 oz. chow mein noodles

Preheat oven to 350*
 Mix all other ingredients together EXCEPT chow mein noodles. Spray a round casserole dish with pan spray. Place 1/2 noodles in bottom & pour the mixed ingredients over noodles. Cover with casserole lid or foil. Pop into 350* oven and bake for 20 mins or until hot and bubbly.  You can remove the lid half-way through baking process if you want your casserole set-up and not so soft.
