CHEESY TUNA CASSEROLE



Cheesy Tuna Casserole image

I got this recipe from an old Pillsbury book. They had the lighter, healthier version vs the older higher fat version. I opted for the higher fat version....its comfort food, don't mess with it! (if you want to make the ligher version just substitue low fat milk, reduced fat cheese and 98% fat free soup)

This was a favorite in my home growing up and now it's a favorite of my family as well. I double the recipe these days for my husband and three children. For a change of pace I add canned chopped green chilies and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, use pasta shells or spirals, or top the casserole with sliced American or cheddar cheese instead of breadcrumbs.

CHEESY NO-BAKE TUNA CASSEROLE (FOR ONE)



Cheesy No-Bake Tuna Casserole (For One) image

I make this often as a light lunch since it is so easy, inexpensive and nutritious (check out the vitamin content!). Not to mention it is gluten free! I often substitute 1 1/2 cups broccoli for the green beans though it will make it more watery if you don't thaw the broccoli first and discard excess water (I don't do this typically though, I just throw the ingredients in a container the night before and let the broccoli thaw overnight and don't mind the extra liquid).

Provided by Emily Elizabeth

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

0.5 (3 ounce) can tuna (drained)
0.5 (14 1/2 ounce) can green beans (drained, or frozen broccoli, about 1 cup chopped or 1.5 cups of the big spears)
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 tablespoon part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper (to taste) (optional)

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in a tupperware container and put in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat it.
  • Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir it up and enjoy!
  • (Updated: If you substitute the frozen broccoli for the green beans, be sure to thaw it a bit first in the microwave and discard the resulting water to avoid it being too watery).

EASY SLOW COOKER TUNA CASSEROLE



Easy Slow Cooker Tuna Casserole image

I couldn't find many slow cooker pasta recipes here that would cook the pasta along with everything else in the cooker. So this is a basic recipe that I made up, along the lines of my mama's stovetop tuna casserole, that can be tweaked by using different type of soup, vegetables, and pasta types as well as adding more or different cheeses, herbs, or spices. Super easy and even my 2-year-old ate it! It makes a very soft pasta, not al dente.

CHEESY TUNA CASSEROLE



Cheesy Tuna Casserole image

A super easy and inexpensive dish that kids seem to love. My daughters will ask for this over and over again. I came up with the seasonings on my own, as a lot of tuna casseroles just seemed a bit too bland to me. The flavors really seem to work together.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans flaked tuna, drained
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (preferably old)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is packed in spring water or olive oil, as it retains more flavor and nutrients compared to tuna packed in oil.
  • Choose the right cheese: Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella. You can also use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried oregano.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables add color, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. Some good options include chopped celery, diced carrots, and peas.
  • Make it ahead of time: The casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

This cheesy no-bake tuna casserole is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy individuals or those looking for a healthier alternative to traditional tuna casserole.
