Tuna Casserole Recipe
Here is a delicious dish that you can serve during lent: Tuna Casserole.This tuna pasta recipe is quick and easy to prepare. All you need to do is mix the ingredients and then bake. Most of the ingredients for this recipe are common.
You can easily find them in your favorite grocery.I like this Tuna Casserole because it is rich and creamy. The flavor of tuna blends well with the other ingredients. I also like the crunch that the french fried onion bring.I’m not sure if you are a fan of french fried onions.
We have also other good casserole recipes aside from tuna. Our chicken casserole recipe is something that you should see.
If you want a crunchy texture without using french fried onions, potato chips is the best alternative and I think that it improved the texture of this of our Tuna Casserole.I am using a conventional oven every time I bake tuna casserole. You can also use turbo broiler (convection oven) as an alternative. I am positive that the result will be great! Enjoy your meal!

Maraming salamat po sa recipe nato! It is my daughter’s favorite, I cooked it 3-4 times for her. It is so cheesy and makes good use of our canned tuna . The only thing I missed is the cream of mushroom.. I put 2 can of golden mushroom and I put a little heavy cream. Thanks !

Hi! I’ve been trying most of the dishes here and I haven’t received any complaints from my family. 🙂
I made this Tuna Casserole Recipe for tonight. I improvised a little because instead of Cream of Mushroom, I only had Cream of Chicken and Corn. It ended up great, like all the other dishes I made from your recipes. It was indeed filling but light. We couldn’t help getting 3rd and 4th servings!
I’m quite a novice cook, and your website helps me heaps preparing meals for my family. I loved that you incorporated videos in your recipes. It makes everything easier to follow. I’ll make the Shepherd’s Pie dish tomorrow.
More power and please share more baked dishes like this one. Thanks a lot! 🙂
