This tuna casserole is an updated version of a recipe handed down from my grandmother, Elizabeth Kelleher Daly so of course it uses potatoes as its starch. She actually called it California Chicken. I guess to a native Yankee, the joke was that in California, tuna is chicken.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh tuna and potatoes will give your casserole the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Use a creamy soup base. A creamy soup base will help to create a rich and flavorful sauce for your casserole. You can use cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom soup, or even cream of chicken soup.
  • Add vegetables to your casserole. Vegetables will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your casserole. You can use any vegetables that you like, such as diced carrots, celery, or onions.
  • Top your casserole with cheese. A layer of cheese on top of your casserole will give it a golden brown crust and a cheesy flavor that everyone will love.
