Definitely easy to make and very tasty. Can't remember when I last made tuna casserole, but it was a long time ago. I did change the topping though. Instead of Italian bread crumbs, I used Ritz cracker crumbs with just a little melted butter mixed in. I also added additional salt and pepper. Made for Spring PAC, March, 2013.
