On Tonight's Menu: Tuna Casserole

There is nothing like a little comfort food for a cold wintry evening! This is my family's favorite recipe for Tuna Casserole, adapted from this cookbook:

Favorite Recipes from Quilters by Louise Stoltzfus.




Tuna Casserole

2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 packet White Albacore Tuna, undrained
1 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 can cream of celery soup
1 mini can white corn, drained
8 ounces cooked pasta (macaroni, egg noodles, etc.)
1 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese

Topping:
1/2 c. bread crumbs
2 Tbsp melted butter

In large skilled saute onion and celery in olive oil until tender. Add tuna with liquid, milk, mayonnaise, soup and corn. Heat through.

Pour mixture into 2 quart oven safe dish. Add cheese and pasta and mix well.

Mel butter and mix with bread crumbs. Spread on top of casserole and bake in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until light brown and bubbly.

Enjoy!
