Tips:
- Use good quality tuna. Solid white albacore tuna is the best choice for this casserole because it has a mild flavor and firm texture. Avoid tuna packed in oil, as it will make the casserole greasy.
- Don't overcook the tuna. Flake the tuna with a fork just until it is cooked through. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for peas, carrots, and celery, but you can also use other vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or corn. Just be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the noodles and vegetables without being too runny. If the sauce is too thin, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) and cook until thickened.
- Top the casserole with cheese. Cheese is a classic topping for tuna casserole, and it adds a delicious golden brown crust. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but cheddar, Parmesan, and Swiss are all good choices.
Conclusion:
Pioneer Woman Tuna Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. The casserole is packed with protein, vegetables, and cheese, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
