Cheesy Tuna Casserole image

I got this recipe from a book called "Baby Let's Eat" which I purchased when my almost 16 year old was a baby. My whole family loves this and it is very flexible as far as what kind of veggies you want to put in it. My DH requests this whenever he wants tuna casserole. Enjoy!

I followed the recipe exactly, but the casserole didn't turn out well. It was bland and the tuna was overcooked.
