I liked this, my husband wasn't a big fan. I used 2 small cans of tuna (500 g would be a little more than 3 cans) and I thought it was fine with just 2. I baked it at 375 for 50 minutes and I wasn't sure what the consistency was supposed to be but it never really got "firm". When I cut it, the sauce came out kinda runny so we just kinda mixed it all together, and that worked out fine.

My family all enjoyed this slice. I actually thought the left-overs were nicer heated than when the slice was first cooked. I liked the mustard as stated in the recipe. This would be a great slice for a buffet or picnic lunch. Photos also being posted. PS: I used gluten-free flour to make this a GF meal :)

Had everything in the cupboard for this one. A nice tuna dinner, however next time I'll probably use a little less mustard or substitute a dijon or something as I wasn't too fond of the dry mustard taste that permeated the sauce. The leftovers were nice cold too.
