NANA'S TUNA CASSEROLE SURPRISE



Nana's Tuna Casserole Surprise image

This has been in my family for at least thirty years. The story goes that one day my Nana received a call from Grandpa who told her to expect company that evening for dinner. She frantically threw together this delightful little casserole and completely astonished the guests. The ingredients are simple, but the flavors and textures combine in such a way that one is often unable to forget.

NANA'S TUNA CASSEROLE SURPRISE

This is one of those little gems of ingenuity from my Nana's kitchen. Nana always made this every Thanksgiving, and all of us kids took turns helping her make it. It is a simple dish, but it really hits the spot on a cold November day. I remember how my sister was absolutely shocked when she learned there was tuna in this dish. This is definitely a dish you'll want to make again and again.
