Fine Tuned Tuna Casserole

"I never much cared for tuna casseroles until I married someone who did. Adding the garlic and soy sauce turned it into a comfort food that I now crave on a regular basis. Please don't omit the soy sauce just because it sounds like a bizarre ingredient--it and the fresh garlic make this dish. Also please use albacore tuna--it's s-o-o much better!"

  1. Very good. Didn't mind the soy sauce taste either. I topped it with crushed Ritz and Dried French Onion pieces....and Parmesian Cheese
     
  2. This was good. It was a perfect dish to combine ingredients that I had no idea what to do with! I topped it with a mixture of half bread crumbs and half parm cheese. I also added some frozen corn, but next time would go with frozen peas if handy. I skipped the soy sauce and added a touch of ketchup after serving.
     
  3. I thought this was great! I made a few minor changes...added 1/2 bag of frozen thawed peas and some ground black pepper. I used canned mushrooms and 2%milk (used a little more than 1/2 c.) . This was so simple and tasty...love the addition of soy sauce. Next time, I might also add some water chestnuts or celery for some crunch. Thank you for a wonderful and easy dish!! ~Manda
     
  4. This was good. Straight up comfort food. The onions were still crispy for some reason after the 40 minutes, so I popped in the microwave for another 6 minutes, and that did the trick. The extra soy sauce is a nice touch. Next time (and there will be a next time!) I might double the amount of soup, or maybe add some sour cream because it would help make this creamier, which we like. Thank you for a new take on the usual tuna casserole!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Minnesota, and actually like the winter more than summer! (Must have Siberian ancestors!) The main focus of my life is, and always has been, children. I've spent the majority of my life either educating myself about children, having and raising children, or working with children. I presently work in an elementary school with children that have emotional/behavioral difficulties, and have three daughters of my own. I also have four grandsons (one an extra gift that came when my daughter very wisely married his dad) and will become Grandma to the the 5th baby in June. This one a little girl! I can not wait!! I received so much joy being a mother that finding that much joy, and more, in being 'Grandma' has taken me by surprise. They are all the best gifts ever given to me. Whatever free time I have is spent with my nose in a book, surfing the web for new recipes, or with my wonderful friends, both online and "in person".
