"Last year my daughter bought me some vintage cookbooks and I love going through them to find different recipes to try. This recipe came from Betty Crocker's Dinner in a Dish, published in 1965. It's a different and tasty tuna casserole!"

this is great and lots healthier than the usual tuna casserole. I did have to make some adjustments based on the sizes of my ingredients, for instance my brocolli, tuna were smaller sizes than indicated and I only used 1/2 of the cornbread mix (as mine was 16 oz), but all in all it is a very good dish -- and could also be an emergency meal, as most of the ingredients are usually on hand - maybe subbing the frozen veggies for whatever is in the freezer at the moment. Great meal for a cold night. Thanks for sharing!
