Poor Man's Tuna Casserole image

A friend and I made this up in college -- as we did not have much money, nor a proper kitchen. Over the years, I have tweaked it a bit -- now that I DO have a proper kitchen!

I'm allergic to tuna, so I substituted canned salmon in this recipe. It was just as good, if not better!

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasonings, like garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, and it was much better.

I tried making this casserole with whole wheat pasta and it turned out great! It's a healthier version that's still just as delicious.
