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.

ONE-PAN TUNA-WHITE BEAN CASSEROLE



One-Pan Tuna-White Bean Casserole image

This is not the classic, cream-of-something soup tuna casserole you may be familiar with. It's based on a recipe for a Breton tuna and white bean gratin from the food writer Diana Henry's cookbook, "Simple" (Mitchell Beazley, 2016). Several steps were eliminated, and an essential potato chip topping was added, which may put it squarely into tuna casserole territory. But you can call it whatever you like. (This recipe is part of the From the Pantry series, started in the days after the coronavirus lockdown.)

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 onion, 2 shallots, 4 scallions or 2 leeks, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Pinch of kosher salt
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1 rosemary sprig (optional)
2 anchovy fillets (optional)
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup white wine, or use water or broth
1/4 cup milk
2 (5-ounce) cans of tuna
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, tarragon, chives or a combination
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 to 6 tablespoons grated cheese (any kind, though Gruyère, Cheddar, Parmesan or Jarlsberg would be great)
1/2 cup potato chips, crushed
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
Lemon juice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In an ovenproof skillet, sauté a chopped onion (or shallots, scallions or leeks) in olive oil over medium-high heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add red-pepper flakes, salt and garlic cloves. Throw in the rosemary sprig, if using. Add anchovy fillets, if using. Cook for another 2 minutes, until the garlic is slightly golden and very fragrant.
  • Add the white beans and the wine. Let it simmer until the liquid evaporates and the beans are soft, about 5 minutes, then mash the beans with a potato masher or a fork. Make them as smooth or lumpy as you like. You just want to release some of their starch. Turn off the heat.
  • Now, add the milk and the tuna. If you have the oil-packed kind, add the oil. If you have the water-packed kind, drain them, and drizzle in more olive oil.
  • Mash the tuna into the beans, leaving it a little chunky. Mix in the herbs, lemon zest and add lots of black pepper. Finally, mix in 2 to 4 tablespoons of any kind of grated cheese. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet, and top it with potato chips. Scatter on more grated cheese, about another 2 tablespoons, and dot the top with little nuggets of butter.
  • Bake until the tuna mixture bubbles around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. If you want the potato chips to get more brown, you could run the whole pan under the broiler. Finish with lemon juice.

This lighter take on tuna casserole gets brightness and crunch from fresh asparagus and arugula.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces cavatappi or other short spiral pasta
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup thinly sliced shallots (from 3 to 4)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (3 cups)
5 ounces baby arugula (4 packed cups)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 4 teaspoons fresh juice
2 cans (5 ounces each) oil-packed tuna, drained
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Combine butter, pasta, broth, 2 cups water, and shallots in a large straight-sided skillet or stockpot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until very al dente, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in asparagus; cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add arugula, Parmesan, and lemon zest; stir to combine. Fold in tuna and lemon juice. Serve immediately, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with more pepper and Parmesan.

Tips:

  • For a creamier casserole, use cream of celery soup instead of cream of mushroom soup.
  • Add a cup of cooked rice or pasta to the casserole for a heartier meal.
  • Stir in a cup of frozen peas or corn for a pop of color and extra vegetables.
  • Top the casserole with a layer of crushed potato chips or buttered bread crumbs for a crispy topping.
  • If you don't have a casserole dish, you can also bake the casserole in a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Conclusion:

One-pot tuna casserole is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking, and it is a great way to use up leftover tuna. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give one-pot tuna casserole a try.
