Ok, when you annouce that your having Tuna casserole to the family, they usually smirk and crinkle their noses, right? Well, I developed this recipe to overt the usual "uugh, can I eat something else". So as to fool my kids, I jazzed up the original verision and came up with this one, and it is very good! I never use chunky light tuna, as I can not stomache the smell or texture. I buy the albacore canned tuna from Costco. It's firm has a mild flavor and low aroma. Hope you enjoy this! Also, if your one who like a topping on your casserole, just make a bread crumb or crushed cornflake topping and bake in the oven for 15 min @ 350 degrees. I'll put the crumb topping recipe here for you as well.

Choose high-quality tuna. Albacore tuna is a premium tuna that is known for its mild flavor and firm texture. Look for tuna that is packed in water or oil, not brine.
Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for celery, onion, and peas, but you can also add other vegetables such as carrots, corn, or green beans.
Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook the tuna just until it is opaque in the center, about 5 minutes.
Use a creamy sauce. The sauce in this recipe is made with cream of mushroom soup, milk, and mayonnaise. You can also use a cream of celery soup or a cream of chicken soup.
Top with cheese. Cheese is a classic topping for tuna casserole. You can use cheddar cheese, Gruyère cheese, or Parmesan cheese.
