The best and probably the easiest way to start your Meatless Monday is with the good ol' Tuna Casserole! You really can't go wrong with this recipe. You can even change most of the ingredients for a different taste every time!
Grocery List:
2 cans of Light flaked tuna in water
frozen peas
Broccoli
Carrots
Pasta - i used Catelli Rotini Smart pasta
2 cans of Cream of Mushroom soup
Shredded Cheese or bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 375F.
Cook pasta until almost al dente - it will finish cooking in the oven. In a 9x13inch greased baking dish, add tuna, frozen peas, carrots(sliced), broccoli (bite size), Soup, and cooked pasta. Mix ingredients so everything is covered by the soup. Top with either shredded cheese, bread crumbs, crushed Ritz crackers, crushed Pringles, or whatever you like to get that nice crust on top! Cover with tin foil and bake for about 20mins. Uncover and bake for additional 10mins to crisp the top some more.
Other Variations
You can play around with different pastas like Penne, macaroni, or even Wagon Wheels for the kids! With using different pastas, why not try different vegetables too! Asparagus, cauliflower, zucchini, eggplant...even kick it up a notch with some things spicy! Add chili flakes or chopped jalapenos for something different!
This recipe beats fish sticks or tufo any day. The kiddies will really appreciate it too.
The bonus: you don`t even taste the tuna...unless you add more!!!
