Cheesy Tuna Potato Casserole

Submitted by Kathy in Casco

"I started out making the tuna casserole I usually make. I thought I had all the needed ingredients. I realized I only had 1 can of cream of celery soup, but had a can of cream of potato, so I substituted and changed the recipe. My husband, and even my 18 year old son, raved about the changes. This is now my preferred recipe, all discovered by accident."

2. Melt cheese in microwave, stirring occasionally.
3. Whisk both cans of soup with the milk until blended.
4. Add melted cheese and whisk until well blended.
