Tuna & Pasta Cheddar Melt
By Lisa Marie on Jun 12, 2008 in Recipes
One of my favourite cookbooks is actually one of those booklets you pick up at the grocery store, looking for coupons. It was from Campbell's soup and it has some of the easiest but tastiest recipes I've ever cooked.
I'm a huge fan of
trying to make meals quickly and with relatively little stress. I don't mind making the full out, multi-course, holiday-style meal once in a while, but I prefer slap-'em together kind of meals that don't require me to be in the kitchen for hours at a time.
The tuna casserole recipe in this booklet is one of my favourite meals to make, not only because it's easy and cheap (an added bonus) but also because it's one meal that my boys will actually EAT! I've also found it to be the kind of comfort food that I feel good to take to my friends when they need meals - like right after a new baby or when someone gets sick.
- Boil 3 cups of water in a pot then add 3 cups of bitesized pasta like rotina, shells, or the like. When pasta is tender, do not drain.
- Add a can of cream of mushroom soup. Pour into a 2qt(2L) casserole dish. Stir in a can of drained flaked tuna. Top with 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Melt 1 Tbsp butter and mix in 3 tbsp of Italian seasoned bread crumbs, then sprinkle on top.
- Pop into the oven at 375ºF (190ºC) for 20 minutes.
Serves 4. To see the nutritional facts, etc - visit the Campbell's website.
