Nana's Tuna Casserole Surprise

This has been in my family for at least thirty years. The story goes that one day my Nana received a call from Grandpa who told her to expect company that evening for dinner. She frantically threw together this delightful little casserole and completely astonished the guests. The ingredients are simple, but the flavors and textures combine in such a way that one is often unable to forget.
