MAMA'S BLACK-EYED PEA CASSEROLE BY EMERIL
This is a recipe from Emeril Live during his "Football Contest" episode. It is really delicious. The only changes I made to it was to drain the diced tomatoes. The recipe doesn't state how many tortillas to use but I suggest using 5 on the bottom layer and 5 on the second layer. I used approx. 14 and that was to much for our taste. Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning (also referred to as Bayou Blast): 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika 2 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried thyme Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

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

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen peas. Fresh peas are best, but frozen peas are a good substitute. If using frozen peas, thaw them before using.
- Cook the peas until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked peas will be mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. This will add flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms.
- Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole more flavorful. You can use a canned cream soup, a homemade white sauce, or even a jarred Alfredo sauce.
- Add some cheese. Cheese is a classic addition to pea casserole. It adds flavor, creaminess, and a golden brown crust. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but cheddar, Parmesan, and Swiss are all good options.
- Top the casserole with crispy onions. Crispy onions add a nice crunch and flavor to the casserole. You can buy them pre-made or make your own by frying thinly sliced onions in oil until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Pea casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful pea casserole that your family and friends will love.
