Tuna Chow Yuk Recipe-Originally 5 Can Casserole Recipe
Many (30+) years ago while struggling young grad students in Montreal, my sister and her husband were living frugally. I came for a visit and my sister whipped up her version of a Tuna Noodle Casserole originally called the 5 Can Casserole. Even though it is a casserole and as a casserole not particularly attractive, I loved it and somehow re-named it "Tuna Chow Yuk." So here it is: Sandra Perkins' Tuna Chow Yuk. 1 can condensed Cream of Chicken Soup 1 can condensed Chicken with Rice Soup 1 can Tuna Fish 1 can (15 oz) Chow Mein Noodles 1/2 can (about 8 oz) Milk Mix one can of cream of chicken soup and one can of chicken with rice soup with half a can of milk. Add can of tuna, chopped up, and a (15 oz.) can of chow mein noddles, saving some to sprinkle on the top. Bake at 350F degrees in a 1 1/2 or 2 quart casserole dish for 25 or 30 minutes. Voila!! Enjoy! FYI: The original recipe used 1 can Evaporated Milk as the 5th can. |

| Something for every college kid to remember. Probably works with canned chicken as well. |
| My MIL has this in her family recipe book that she gave the kids for easy quick recipes.
Every time I see this thread, I think it says Yuki recipe. |
| This kinda sounds YUK but I'm gonna try it too. |
Sounds delicious. I think I'll try it.  |
| sounds good. This might sound dumb, but milk comes in a can? |

Evaporated milk does. It has a cow on it to avoid confusion with all the other can.  |
| I've heard of condensed milk and evaporated milk, which come in a can, but aren't those sweet...I didn't know that regular old milk came in a can! |
Okay, everyone knows that I don't cook... I'm thinking maybe you just use the soup can to measure regular milk in.  |
Yeah, just measure regular milk in the can. I'm nudged by Joan to say that half a can of milk is probably closer to 6 ouncees than 8. 
I think that evaporated or condensed milk can be purchased regular or sweetened. |
| Evaporated milk is not sweetened, condensed milk is. |
| but evaporated milk is sweeter than regular milk because the water ratio is lower and the sugar ratio is higher - if that makes sense.
However, the recipe seems to refer to using the soup can to add milk. |
| The original 5-can recipe called for evaporated milk, but Sandra's recipe calls for 1/2 can as a measurement of regular milk. |
