Tuna Noodle with a Little Spice and Garlic Broccoli

"I was searching through my kitchen cabinets trying to decide what to make for dinner and I saw I had the ingredients for a good old fashion Tuna Noodle Casserole. This is something I grew up eating. My dad would make it and  my grandmother would make it when we went to visit.   Now, tuna noodle casserole doesn't have a burst of flavors so I wanted to do something to spice it up.   I figured my husband would appreciate a little extra spice in the recipe too.   I drizzled hot sauce over the top to add a little flare.  It turned out great! The hot sauce added a little extra punch and then we had the crispy crunch of the chips on top.  As a side I had sauteed broccoli seasoned with garlic powder which went nicely with the tuna noodle."
