TUNA AND VEGETABLE CASSEROLE



Tuna and Vegetable Casserole image

In an attempt to eat healthier, my husband and I have been eating more vegetables and less meats. As a result, I have become more creative coming up with dinner meals. This casserole was delicious, used fresh vegetables I had on hand, and went together very quickly. I topped the casserole with French fried onions. Another option would be more grated cheese or crushed potato chips.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ (12 ounce) package egg noodles
1 cup 1-inch pieces fresh-cut green beans
1 cup bite-size summer squash pieces
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup sliced carrots
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

Tips:

  • Choose your skewers wisely: Metal skewers are reusable and sturdy, but wooden skewers need to be soaked in water before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly on the skewers.
  • Don't overcrowd the skewers: Leave some space between the pieces of food so that they can cook properly.
  • Baste the skewers while they are cooking: This will help keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook the skewers over medium heat: This will allow the food to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce: Try a teriyaki sauce, a tzatziki sauce, or a spicy mayo.

Conclusion:

Tuna veggie kabobs are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a summer meal. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a kabob that is both visually appealing and packed with flavor. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy this tasty treat!
