This casserole was easy to make and very tasty. I used canned tuna, and I added a few extra vegetables, like carrots and celery. I also used a gluten-free breadcrumb topping. It was a delicious and healthy dish.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found the breadcrumb topping to be a bit too dry. I think I would have preferred a cheesy topping instead.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole turned out watery. I'm not sure what went wrong. I think I might have added too much milk. I also found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful cheese, like cheddar

I'm not usually a fan of tuna casserole, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of peas and corn gave the casserole a nice sweetness, and the crunchy breadcrumb topping was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again!
