Best tuna casserole we've had. The only changes I made were adding some finely chopped celery to the carrot, onion mixture and fresh chopped parsley to the cream sauce. I used about about half the amount of butter called for. This was so much better than any recipes I've tried with creamed soup. Thanks so much for posting the recipe.

I really just love this website! I visit it practically every weekday for ideas and recipes and try to always post a review of everything I make from Zaar. The only time I don't is when I have a negative reaction to a recipe that was due to my mistake or if I have substituted so many ingredients that it wouldn't be a fair review. Thanks to all of you wonderful cooks who have made me a better cook myself!
