Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your tuna casserole will taste. If you can, use wild-caught tuna instead of canned tuna.
- Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
- Use a good quality rice: The type of rice you use will make a big difference in the final product. Use a long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice.
- Add your favorite vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the casserole. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, and peas.
- 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 cream sauce, or even a béchamel sauce.
- Top with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for tuna casserole. You can use any type of cheese you like, but a sharp cheddar cheese or a Parmesan cheese are good options.
- Bake until golden brown: Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbling. This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Tuna casserole is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. It's a great way to use up leftover tuna, and it's also a budget-friendly meal.
