GOURMET TUNA (ALBACORE) CASSEROLE
Ok, when you annouce that your having Tuna casserole to the family, they usually smirk and crinkle their noses, right? Well, I developed this recipe to overt the usual "uugh, can I eat something else". So as to fool my kids, I jazzed up the original verision and came up with this one, and it is very good! I never use chunky light tuna, as I can not stomache the smell or texture. I buy the albacore canned tuna from Costco. It's firm has a mild flavor and low aroma. Hope you enjoy this! Also, if your one who like a topping on your casserole, just make a bread crumb or crushed cornflake topping and bake in the oven for 15 min @ 350 degrees. I'll put the crumb topping recipe here for you as well.
