Clipper Ship Casserole

Submitted by Sweet Diva MJ

"I'm not a big tuna casserole fan - in fact, this is the only one I will eat. I make it when I get bored with ground beef and chicken and need something budget-friendly. Please Note: Leftovers are not quite as good as the corn chips lose their crunch, so it is best when eaten the same day. Not so much a concern for me, as my husband will eat almost anything and doesn't care about the soggy corn chips. The kids and I just save any leftovers for him! : )"

This was delicious. I had to substitute the African Berbere Spice for the other Bay Seasoning. It turned out really well. Thanks for posting it.
