Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

20 ounces fresh cauliflower, shredded, 1 small head
2 tablespoons butter
1 stalk celery, diced
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon instant minced onion
2 (6 ounce) cans canned tuna, drained
4 ounces mushrooms, drained

Steps:

Put cauliflower in a 2 1/2 quart casserole with a lid.
Add 3 tablespoons of water, cover and microwave on HIGH 8-10 minutes until just tender, stirring every couple minutes (do not overcook); stir in 1 tablespoon butter.
Meanwhile, sauté the celery in remaining tablespoon of butter until very tender.
In medium microwaveable bowl, mix 6 ounces of the cheese and cream.
Microwave a 2 minutes to melt the cheese; stir until well blended.
Whisk in mayonnaise, seasonings and dry onion.
Stir tuna and mushrooms into cauliflower; add cheese sauce and mix well.
Can be covered and chilled at this point and then baked later.
Cover and bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes; uncover, top with remaining cheese and bake another 10-15 minutes until bubbly; add an extra 5-10 minutes to first baking time if chilled.

Tips:

Use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water and is labeled "dolphin-safe."
Cook the rice according to the package directions.
Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. Some good options include celery, onion, carrots, and peas.
Add some seasonings to your casserole to taste. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Top the casserole with a layer of cheese before baking. This will help to brown the casserole and give it a crispy crust.
You can also add a layer of bread crumbs to the top of the casserole before baking. This will help to absorb any excess moisture and give the casserole a crunchy texture.
Bake the casserole until it is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Tuna and rice casserole is a quick, easy, and affordable meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, tuna and rice casserole is sure to become a family favorite.
