Can I Eat Tuna Casserole on the Keto Diet?
You can eat tuna casserole on the keto diet by making a low carb or keto-friendly recipe. Traditional tuna casserole may have heavy carb egg noodles, potato chips, cream of mushroom soup, and breadcrumbs, and all must be avoided on the keto diet. You must use healthy low carb substitutes when you make a tuna casserole on the keto diet.
How Do I Make Tuna Casserole Keto-Friendly?
Tuna casserole can be made keto-friendly by using low carb substitutes for the heavy carb ingredients. Instead of using egg noodles you can use low carb shirataki noodles, and instead of using potato chips or bread crumbs you can use crushed pork rinds. With each substitute you make your tuna casserole becomes healthier for you on a low carb diet and on the keto diet.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention rinsing Shirataki noodles, & also mentioning that to get rid of some of the springy texture pan frying noodles in a hot dry pan till the water is gone. I love and have made many of your recipes.
Hi Anne, Thank you for your comment and kind words about my recipes! 🙂 I just updated the post; I usually mention the rinsing part, but forgot to in this recipe. I have not yet tried the frying tip but have heard of it – thank you for the reminder! I’m looking forward to trying it.
Fantastic! I recommend cutting the fettuccine into shorter lengths. Leaving them soooo long makes it very difficult to divide into individual servings.
Husband loved it!
Great idea, Kathleen! I’m so glad you and your husband loved it! 🙂
I made this Keto Tuna Casserole last night and was pleased. It was very quick to make and the entire family liked it including my fussy 4 year old son. I like recipes that will work with my Keto diet and satisfy the rest of my non-Keto family. The crushed pork rinds on top add to the appeal. I never tried the shirataki noodles before so I am glad to have another ingredient that I can use on my diet.
This was super easy to make and delicious! The shirataki noodles are a wonderful addition to my keto diet. Thank you for the introduction.
This recipe for Keto tuna casserole turned out so well! It is simple to make and is a nice, comforting, creamy meal that the entire family liked. With easy recipes like this one, it is simple to stay Keto.
