Cheese-Topped Tuna Casserole

Submitted by HEP MEP

"Had a craving for a tuna rice casserole - that my family would eat too, of course - and found this on the USA Rice Federation site. The original made only 2-3 servings, so I stuck it on here so I could increase it. This makes more like 4-6 I think.. (prep time includes cooking the rice) Sure satisfied that craving of mine..."

This was good and filling. I used 4 1/2 cups of rice but the full amounts of everything else. You could customize this however you wanted to.

I am an avid fish lover, however this recipe was overy "fishy". I also found it to be dry. My kids wouldn't eat it, so I probably won't make this one again.
