MODERN TUNA CASSEROLE
I loved tuna casserole as a kid and found myself craving it as an adult. However, the massive amounts of fat and salt in the traditional recipe were a turnoff healthwise, and it just didn't taste as good as I remembered. I reconfigured the recipe to include more vegetables and the result was delicious. -Rebecca Blanton, St. Helena, California

BEGINNERS TUNA CASSEROLE
You can add veggies if you want... it's a great base casserole. It's easy for kids and new cooks to make. I prefer to add some ground red pepper and fresh black pepper to it.
