I made this for the first time this evening for my family. However, instead of the rice, I used broad egg noodles. I also combined extra-sharp cheddar cheese with processed American cheese slices, and combined evaporated milk with regular milk. Last, I topped off the casserole with crushed potato chips instead of bread crumbs. I didn't add peas. It was a very tasty meal. Everyone had seconds. There was hardly any casserole left.

I also used 2 cans of tuna. I also did not have celery so used red pepper. Really good. Its in my Favorite file on my laptop.

This tuna rice meal is superb! As we are basil lovers I replaced the celery with fresh basil leaves, mixing it in the sauce after pouring the milk, and it was excellent. I decided to leave out the buttered bread crumbs to make the meal ""lighter"" and nobody seemed to miss anything. Using fresh tuna is a healthier option, cooking the chunk of fish in water, oil and salt for a while (just until the water boils) until it is no longer red in colour. I have saved this recipe in my 'quick and yum' file to make it again in the future. Thanks for that.

This recipe is easy and doesn't take a lot of time. It contains ingredients that you usually already have in stock, which means a lot to me, because I hate going to the store any more than I have to. The only thing I did differently was add 2 6 oz cans of tuna instead of 1 7 oz can. One can just didn't seem like quite enough. I would recommend this recipe!
