My Best Tuna Casserole
Here is one more version of an old favorite. after trying many times, this seems to be one my family likes a lot.
Steps
Preheat oven to 375.
In a large sauce pan , on medium heat , melt butter and whisk in flour slowly.
When butter and flour are smooth , let cook until slightly colored and fragrant.
Wisk in milk slowly , and bring to a low boil , stirring constantly.
When sauce reaches desired thickness , reduce heat and stir in cheese.
Add all seasoning to taste and , if needed , leave on a low heat to thicken.
Spray casserole pan with oil and add noodles , frozen veg , green onion and tuna.
Stir in cheese sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Top with bread crumbs or croutons , if you like.
For bread crumbs: in a food processor , add stale bread and pulse until you have course breadcrumbs.
Quickly add melted butter while the processor is on low speed.
Alternatively , use store bought croutons that you have crushed to a fine crumb.
Bake in oven for approximately 30 minutes or until topping is brown and bubbling at the edges.
Allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
