Tips:

To save time, use pre-cooked tuna. You can also use canned tuna, but be sure to drain it well and flake it before adding it to the pot pie.
If you don't have frozen peas and carrots, you can use fresh or canned vegetables. Just be sure to cook them until they are tender before adding them to the pot pie.
You can also add other vegetables to the pot pie, such as celery, onions, or bell peppers.
If you don't have a pie crust mix, you can use a pre-made pie crust or make your own from scratch.
To make the pot pie even cheesier, you can add a layer of shredded cheese to the top before baking.
