Unique Tuna CasseroleOctober 06, 2009By AK_Momma
"I was looking for something different than the ""normal"" tuna noodle casseroles and I found this tasty recipe. I had to change a few things as I didn't have all the ingredients on hand... I chopped fresh mushrooms and used a cup of chicken broth because I didn't have juice from canned mushrooms. I also had to add 3 more TBSP all purpose flour to help thicken the sauce. I added pimentos to the mix as well for more flavor. This is definitely a recipe I will keep and share with others."
