TUNA AND VEGETABLE CASSEROLE



Tuna and Vegetable Casserole image

In an attempt to eat healthier, my husband and I have been eating more vegetables and less meats. As a result, I have become more creative coming up with dinner meals. This casserole was delicious, used fresh vegetables I had on hand, and went together very quickly. I topped the casserole with French fried onions. Another option would be more grated cheese or crushed potato chips.

Tips:

  • Choose versatile ingredients - Tuna and mayonnaise make a great base for a casserole, but you can also add other vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, or celery.
  • Flavor up the casserole - Use a variety of herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of the casserole. Some good options include dill, garlic, and pepper.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables - Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their nutritional value. Aim to cook them until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch.
  • Make sure the casserole is moist - A dry casserole is not very appealing. Make sure to add enough milk or cream to keep the casserole moist and creamy.
  • Top the casserole with cheese or bread crumbs - This will give the casserole a golden brown crust and make it even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Tuna vegetable casserole is a delicious and nutritious meal that is easy to make. It is a great way to use up leftover tuna and vegetables. It can also be tailored to your own taste preferences by adding different vegetables, spices, and herbs. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a comforting dish to serve on a special occasion, tuna vegetable casserole is a great option.
