FISH HOT DISH


1 cup dry noodles of choice
1 can flaked fish
1 half can (or more) cream of mushroom soup - undiluted
1 cup frozen green peas
1 bunch pretzel sticks
1 stack dill pickle slices
Some cross-sectioned black olive slices, pimento, and cocktail pearl onions for flourish

Cook noodles in salted water and drain (double noodles and soup if more than one person is eating). Heat oven to 350 degrees. In deep dish casserole, combine noodles, drained flaked fish, mushroom soup, and peas. Stir, add a dash of pepper (no salt needed), and level. Arrange pretzels and pickle slices in seasonal designs or other theme (holiday tree, ice fishing house, self-portrait). Garnish with olive slices and/or onions. Dust with paprika or parmesan cheese, depending on theme. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
