Great idea, and so delicious with the juicy tomatoes added! I put in celery, pimiento, a few dashes of seafood seasoning by Spice Hunter, and crushed potato chips on top--mostly because that's what tuna noodle casserole means to me. But loved the idea of the tomatoes and cheese, and the layers, and this made a fresh new dish!Reply
