1 2/3 cups unsweetened almond milk, *
2 large eggs
3 Tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise, **
2 Tbsp stone ground mustard
3 cans tuna, drained

Steps:

Whisk this mixture together until it is well-combined. Add the drained tuna and rice and mix well to combine.
  • Transfer to a mixing bowl to a casserole dish (I use an 9" x 9" square casserole dish).

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Flake the tuna into small pieces before adding it to the casserole, and cook it just until it's heated through.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the casserole together. Use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of flavors. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. You can use any type of vegetables you like, but some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, and onion.
  • Top with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for casseroles, and it adds a delicious, golden-brown crust. You can use any type of cheese you like, but a good option is a sharp cheddar cheese.
  • Bake until bubbly: Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. This will usually take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Tuna and rice casserole is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With its simple ingredients and flavorful sauce, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
