"Another simple yet satisfying home meal that you can make in no time. A huge hit with kids, big and small. Also very easy on the bank account! If you don't have 2 cans of tuna, just use one. Quarter your canned whole mushrooms if that's what you have. Use a shaped pasta like macaroni, rotini, penne, something to hold the sauce. Add any veggies, seasonings, etc. that you think your family might like. Also freezes very well. Enjoy!"

I made this tuna casserole for DH and my son. I used fresh mushrooms that I fried in a pan with a little bit of butter. I used gruyere cheese on top. DH liked it and said 4 stars. Thanks Nif :) Made for Market tag game

Oh boy! Talk about overeating. I sure did on this one. It was wonderful. I only used 1 can of tuna and left out the salt. I also added frozen peas. Will be making this one again!! Made for PAC Spring 2011.

Yummy! I was really in the mood for some good old comfort food and this hit the spot! I used Catelli Smart since you mentioned it - I had never tried it before. And I sauteed some fresh mushrooms, used a Mexican cheese blend and served with peas - gotta have peas with tuna casserole, lol. I totally over ate! Thanks Nif for a nice simple keeper. Made for Went to the Market Tag.

Made for KK's Chefs Pick Event. I doubled the recipe, making two large casseroles, and froze one for a potluck dinner this weekend. This was fast and easy made exactly per the recipe, except that I used a mix of cheddar and monterey cheese for the topping. The perfect dish for a Potluck, or an easy dinner. Thank You Nif for a wonderful meal.

Very good and very easy. The only thing I did different was to not add the mushrooms. :-) Made for KK's Chef's Pick~

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
