Recipe: Baked Tuna Casserole
Added November 2018.
This dish came about since I enjoy pasta, tuna, and casserole. Combined? Sounded delicious. His mother used to make us this macaroni salad that was so yum. I forget who made some yum tuna salad… and his aunt would make us these macaroni pie and casserole dishes for the holidays.
Had to think of something to make for our holiday dinner in 2018. Ended up trying a version of this out recipe out and… it stuck ever since.
