This cheesy and delicious tuna and rice bake is the answer to mealtime blahs, and the whole family will be happy.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups milk
- 8 ounces shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 can (7 ounces) tuna, drained and flaked
- 1 cup cooked frozen or canned peas, drained
- 4 cups hot cooked rice
- 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
Preparation:
In a skillet over medium-low heat, cook onion and celery in the butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, pepper, and dry mustard. Continue cooking, stirring, until smooth and just bubbly. Add Worcestershire sauce and gradually stir in milk. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Add about half of the cheese to the sauce mixture; stir until melted. Add flaked tuna and peas. Spoon half of the hot rice into a shallow 2-quart baking dish and spread about half of the remaining cheese over the rice; top with half of hot mixture, then repeat layers. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and toss with the bread crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs over the top. Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
