This was really a superstar for "Tuna" recipe. But just really wasn't "creamy" enough. Great change from the usual mushroom soup kind and packed with good stuff. I cut the recipe in half, used 2 cans of tuna, egg noodles, cheddar cheese, and baked at 350 for 30min. Otherwise followed the recipe. Turned out fine but I will double the wet stuff next time. Thanks for sharing.
