CRISPY-ON-THE-TOP TUNA AND GREEN PEA CASSEROLE (ROCCO DISPIRITO)



Crispy-On-The-Top Tuna and Green Pea Casserole (Rocco Dispirito) image

This recipe is based on one of Rocco Dispirito's from his book, Now Eat This! Diet. He says in its intro, "Who grew up eating tuna casserole? Raise your hands. That's just about everybody. Okay, this is not your mother's tuna casserole...nor does it use Tuna Helper. But it does taste just as wonderful - without losing any of its comfort-food flavor. I've wowed it up a bit with Dijon mustard, and I used whole wheat panko bread crumbs for that traditional crunchy topping. If you can't find these particular bread crumbs, you can always toast leftover whole wheat bread and break it into crumbs with a rolling pin." I made this the other night with French's French Fried Onions because I was out of panko bread crumbs. We loved this dish and it has become a new staple dish for us. Per serving: 351 calories, 10g fat (5g sat / 1g mono / 0.5g poly), 64mg cholesterol, 589mg sodium, 34g carbohydrate, 6g fiber, 36g protein. This calculates to 9 WeightWatchers Points Plus value. He says you can save 31 calories per serving by omitting the peas. Before his update, the classic tuna casserole has 28 fat grams and 826 calories - thank you, Rocco! :)

GREEN PEA CASSEROLE



Green Pea Casserole image

This recipe is from the Colonial Park United Methodist Church cookbook in Memphis, TN. There's no date on the cookbook, but I remember my mother being the editor for it when I was in high school, so late 60's. This was submitted by Mabel Morriss.

Categories     Side Casseroles

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can(s) green english peas
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1/4 c chopped onion
1/4 c chopped celery
1 can(s) sliced water chestnuts
1/4 c butter, melted
1 c cracker crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Saute onion an celery in a small amount of oil until tender.
  • 2. Stir in mushroom soup
  • 3. Mix the peas and water chestnuts together in a casserole dish.
  • 4. Top with the mushroom soup mixture.
  • 5. Toss the cracker crumbs with butter and sprinkle over the mixture.
  • 6. Bake 20 minutes at 350

Tips:

  • Choose fresh or frozen peas: Fresh peas are best, but frozen peas work well too. Avoid canned peas, as they can be mushy.
  • Use a good quality cream of mushroom soup: This is the base of the casserole, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a soup that is made with real mushrooms and has a creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the peas: Peas should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked peas will be mushy.
  • Use a casserole dish that is large enough: The casserole will expand as it bakes, so it's important to use a dish that is large enough to accommodate it.
  • Top the casserole with crispy onions: Crispy onions add a nice crunch and flavor to the casserole. You can use store-bought crispy onions or make your own.

Conclusion:

Green pea casserole is a classic holiday dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, cheesy sauce, tender peas, and crispy onion topping, it's sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
