Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, flavorful tuna, crisp vegetables, and a creamy sauce make all the difference.
- Don't overcook the tuna. It should be cooked through, but still moist and flaky. Overcooked tuna is dry and tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. This will add color, texture, and flavor. Some good options include corn, peas, celery, carrots, and onions.
- Make sure the sauce is creamy and flavorful. A good sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and add richness to the dish.
- Top the casserole with a layer of crispy breadcrumbs or grated cheese before baking. This will give the casserole a golden-brown crust.
- Serve the casserole hot with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
