MOM'S EASY TUNA CASSEROLE WITH RICE

I grew up with a macaroni-based tuna casserole. My mother-in-law introduced me to this one with rice and I've used it ever since. The Tabasco® sauce and green chile peppers gives it an extra pop of flavor.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Spread rice in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Layer tuna over top, then diced onion.
Drain tomato juice into a 2-cup liquid measure. Add enough water to reach 1 1/3 cups liquid. Layer 3/4 of the diced tomatoes over the onion, then pour the tomato juice-water mixture over top. Save remaining tomatoes.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir flour into milk in a liquid measure. Pour milk mixture into the skillet and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add hot pepper sauce and season with salt and pepper. Add cheese and stir until melted.
Pour cheese sauce over the casserole. Garnish with extra tomatoes and paprika.
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

TUNA-MELT CASSEROLE

If you enjoy diner tuna-melt sandwiches, you'll love the taste of this. To save time, use packaged frozen broccoli florets. Jarlsberg Swiss cheese works nicely in this casserole.

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large saucepot, cook pasta in boiling salted water for 5 minutes; add broccoli to pasta and cook another 5 minutes or until broccoli is tender and pasta is al dente. Drain well and return to saucepot; set aside.
Meanwhile, in a 3-quart saucepan, melt butter or margarine over low heat. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper until blended and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk; increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil 1 minute, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in 1 cup of cheese until blended.
Add cheese sauce and tuna to pasta and broccoli in saucepot; toss until evenly mixed. Transfer mixture to a 13"x9" glass baking dish. Arrange tomato slices on top, overlapping if necessary. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
