March 14th is Potato Chip Day. I bet you have a recipe that uses potato chips as an ingredient. Here's one of my family's (I confess it's one I have not personally tried, but only because I loathe peas):

Tuna Casserole
Ingredients:
1-1 1/2 C. uncooked egg noodles

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

2 cans tuna

1 can peas

1-1 1/2 C. crushed potato chips

Directions: Cook noodles by package directions and drain. Mix together the soup, tuna and peas, adding a little water if needed. Spread in a casserole dish and sprinkle with the crushed potato chips. Bake at 350ºF for 30-40 minutes, until the top starts to brown.
