NIF'S NOTHING FANCY TUNA CASSEROLE

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!

Ingredients

1 lb dry pasta, shaped (I use Catelli Smart but you can use whole wheat or whatever you prefer)
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water (flaked or chunk, drained)
1 (10 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup, condensed
1 (10 ounce) can mushrooms, sliced, drained
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

Boil pasta in salted water, as directed. While pasta is cooking, spray a 2 quart casserole with nonstick spray; open cans of tuna, soup and mushrooms.
Drain pasta, return to pot and add all other ingredients. Mix well and pour into casserole dish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes. You just need the casserole to heat through. Remove from oven when cheese has completely melted and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

NIF'S TUNA CASSEROLE TO GO

My DS's love my tuna casserole (see Recipe #349613), but one of them does not have a microwave at school to heat it up. I came up with this cold version of it and they both really like it. I kept it simple because after a long day at work and then making a nice dinner, I don't feel like making high maintenance lunches. My guys are 12 and 14 and can eat a lot, particularly this! You can increase the amount to make a cold salad for a gathering. Enjoy!
