Serve it with broccoli. Tried mixing that in but nobody liked it, same if I go the macaroni and mushroom soup route.

410 degree oven. Classico Reserva sauce. Cheddar Jack Mozz Asiago Parm cheese. Extra virgin olive oil on top. Wow them. Maybe they'll rise to the challenge.

I am familiar. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. Btw, I think they are the best thing about green bean casserole!

I was picturing you making onion rings to top your tuna casserole

I roast green beans with olive oil, and the last 5 minutes put the onions on. No mushroom soup. Lower carb, not as messy

Or lose the pasta and put those meatballs and sauce sprinkled w/asiago and parmesan on a olive oil toasted sub bun and serve a side salad of cuke and watermelon with honey lime and cilantro dressing.

I introduced my husband to tuna casserole and he just loved it and wanted it all the time, I guess he was a deprived child. He’d never had it before.

We had to put it on pause several times though because three pregnancies. the smell of tuna made me nauseous
