TUNA CASSEROLE


Level of difficulty - Easy

This recipe goes back generations in my family. It's yummy, filling, and a good way to get the three major food groups in one setting. Kids adore this dish as well as adults and served with warm bread and a light salad, there's nothing else like it. It's got delicate flavors of fresh herbs running through it and topped with with a crunchy cheesy breadcrumb mixture, it's absolutely delightful!
