Jazzed Tuna Casserole

Felt lazy today, and I got my early Christmas present of Sims 3 for Wii, so really didn't want to put too much effort into my supper. Kept saying for ages that I wanted tuna casserole, but it always turns into mac'n'cheese weekends instead, so I put my lazy butt in gear and did it.

Jazzed Tuna Casserole


makes 4-6 servings depending on the appetite

400g pasta, usually go with elbows
2 cans tuna. drained (if you use raw tuna, you are nuts, cuz this sooo ain't worth it)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
3 1/2 soup cans of milk (more or less depending on how creamy you like it)
2 shots Worcestershire sauce
diced green pepper
chopped mushroom pieces
salt and pepper to taste

Boil the pasta according to directions/preference, but in a large pot is a must, for easier stirring.
Drain.
Melt butter in pot and sweat veggies for a couple minutes.
Mix in flour, salt and pepper.
Stir in the mushroom soup.
Gradually add the milk to lessen the amount of lumps.
Add the tuna and pasta back in.
Heat through.
Serve with favourite toppings.



It's fine on its own, but extra shots of Worcestershire sauce and plain chips add to the yumminess if you want it richer. Can be heated in the oven for up to an hour, but I'd add extra milk to the recipe since it could dry out. Greasing whatever baking dish you put it in would also be a good idea, since it can stick fierce.

Enjoy!
