Tuna Casserole

When you are short on time and want to feed your family something healthy but don’t want to spend a lot of time making something this tuna casserole dish is for you. If you like your dishes just a little creamier then add some milk before you bake. For the topping you can also use parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs like I did the last time I made this tuna casserole. Even crushed crackers make a good topping alternative. Basically this is a very simple recipe and most people will have all the ingredients right there in the pantry which is what I like about it. Oh that and when I make this I always think of my sweet little Nanna which makes it just that little bit tastier. The recipe for this tuna casserole serves six and is ready in 35 minutes.
