Nana's Tuna Casserole Surprise image

This is one of those little gems of ingenuity from my Nana's kitchen. Nana always made this every Thanksgiving, and all of us kids took turns helping her make it. It is a simple dish, but it really hits the spot on a cold November day. I remember how my sister was absolutely shocked when she learned there was tuna in this dish. This is definitely a dish you'll want to make again and again.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The pineapple and cheese helped to balance out the flavor of the tuna.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover tuna. It's also a budget-friendly meal.

I would make this casserole again, but I would make some changes to the recipe. I would use less mayonnaise and more cheese.

Overall, I thought this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a disaster! The casserole was dry and tasteless.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great. I used Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs and it was still delicious.

I was skeptical about this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors all came together perfectly. I would recommend using fresh pineapple instead of canned.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The combination of tuna, pineapple, and cheese was unique and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
