Corey told Julie that Tuna Casserole was one of his favorite things and I never made it for him. So here it is....
(I took the recipe from betty and made a few alterations. It turned out pretty good)
2 C Pasta - I used Gemelli, but use what ever you want
2 T Butter
2 T flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 C Milk
2 C Cheese, I did a mix of Colby Jack and Mozzarella
2 C Broccoli flowerets cooked until crisp-tender and drained
1 1/2 C Peas
1 Can Tuna
Heat oven to 350.
Cook and drain pasta.
In a sauce pan melt butter, over low heat. Stir in flour and salt, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly. Increase heat to medium and gradually stir in milk, heat to boil and stir in cheese. Once the cheese is all melted remove from heat. Add broccoli, peas, pasta and tuna. Mix well and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Cover and bake for 25 minutes.
Crumb topping
2/3 C Bread Crumbs
1 T butter (melted)
Mix butter and bread crumbs sprinkle over the casserole. Bake uncovered for 5 minutes or until toasted.
(I won't lie I wasn't crazy about the bread crumb topping If you have any ideas for a substitution go for it. I saw a few recipes that used potato chips)
