The Best Tuna Casserole

Even though I love to whine complain about how hot is still here, I can’t help myself from turning  the oven to bake yummy things. Most people save casseroles for the fall and winter but not me! I think I made this casserole about 3 times during the summer but can you blame me? It’s so easy to whip together during busy nights and it’s so good! So good.

It wasn’t that long ago since the only way I knew how to make tuna casserole was from out of a box (Tuna Helper anyone? lol!). And then I got married One day Mr. Delish was craving tuna casserole so the hunt began for the perfect recipe. I found THIS ONE on allrecipes.com and after reading its’ great reviews I decided to make it. I made a few changes of course like sauteing the onions in butter, adding milk & using a bigger can of cream of mushroom soup (to make it creamier), added salt & pepper, omitted the sliced mushrooms & potato chips – phew! That’s a lot of changes! But that definitely made it even better! The recipe was a hit with the husband and that’s how I know it’s a keeper
