Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
3 tablespoons butter (divided)
8 ounces medium pasta shells
2 (5 oz each) cans solid white albacore tuna in water (drained and flaked (or use your favorite canned tuna))
½ cup very finely diced celery
½ cup very finely diced onion
1 cup thawed frozen peas (optional)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (white or yellow)
¼ cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese
½ cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can(s) condensed mushroom soup (98% fat free or reduced sodium)
1 or 2 can(s) tuna, packed in water
2 cup(s) elbow macaroni, uncooked
1/4 cup(s) milk, whichever kind
1/2 cup(s) sweet peas
1 tablespoon(s) butter
- handful of shredded cheese
- celery salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Gently stir in mushroom soup, tuna, milk, peas and butter over low heat on stovetop. Once well blended, turn off heat.
  • Shake in your celery salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese on top and allow to melt. Serve while still hot.

Tips:

  • Use canned tuna in water, not oil. This will help to reduce the fat content of the casserole.
  • Flake the tuna well before adding it to the casserole. This will help to ensure that it is evenly distributed throughout the dish.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the casserole. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include peas, carrots, celery, and onion.
  • Use a creamy sauce made with milk, flour, and butter. This will help to bind the casserole together and make it more flavorful.
  • Top the casserole with a layer of cheese before baking. This will help to brown the top of the casserole and add a cheesy flavor.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the casserole from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Tuna casserole is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious tuna casserole that your family and friends will love.
