I like eating tuna noodle casserole, but I don't make it. Hmm.
I guess applesauce.
It's easy (especially if you just core the apples and leave the skin in for texture, the way I do). Core apples, put apples in slow cooker, leave alone for a long time, come back, stir up and add spices.
It's hard to get comparable results from a store. Applesauce from a store tends to be thin and lack texture, IME.
I really like it.
And it's nice to eat warm, fresh out of the slow cooker, whereas normally I don't heat store-bought applesauce.
EDIT:
My favorite nostalgia casserole is sombrero pie, from some Betty Crocker cookbook:

Think sorta beanless chili con carne topped with a cornmeal crust.
I tend to favor having more spiciness in it than it has stock.
That pieathalon link is something else! Cheers Tal, will dig through more of it later. And yeah, chilli con carne with a big tortilla on top sounds like a winner.
My "classic pie that went horribly wrong", and my mates still take the piss out of me now for how bad it was, was an attempt at "fidget pie". How bad can a pork-and-apple pie be? It can be a soggy undercooked bowl of slop, that's how.
Sounds yummy.
