*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #55* I should have realized from the ingredients that this would be very mild. I prepared this according to directions with the exception of subbing artisan Taco cheese blend for cheddar. Not too flavorful the first night, but made a large quantity for 2. Tonight. I took 1/2 of the leftovers and added 3 Tbsp. melted butter with 2 tsp. crushed garlic and 1/2 T. seasoned salt, and covered with shredded extra sharp cheddar, and warmed in a 350* oven for 20 minutes. MUCH more flavor ! Will add same to the last for another night. Thanks for posting, Mersaydees.

I loved this take on tuna casserole! You couldn't tell it was made with lighter ingredients at all. I liked the tang from the dijon mustard, but my husband didn't care for that as much. I wouldn't change a thing about this except maybe just leave the breadcrumbs off next time. Thanks for posting! Made for Photo Tag.

This casserole is delicious and perfectly seasoned for my taste. I didn't have whole wheat rotini so used tri-colour rotini instead, used fat-free yogurt and regular cheddar cheese, and topped it with a mixture of French-fried onions (I was really surprised to find these at my grocer!) and regular panko. It reheats really well. I will definitely make this yummy dish again!
