Recipe: Easy Tuna Casserole

This is what I made for today's Holiday party-thing here at the office.

Ingredients:

1 large can of chunk white albacore tuna, packed in water (may use a little more if you like it extra meaty)
1 med onion, chopped
1 sm can (or 1/2 large can) of baby English peas
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup (cooked) egg noodles
1 can Campbell's Cream of Celery soup
1/2 cup milk
salt to taste
pepper to taste
garlic to taste
CHEESE, grated
other seasonings as desired, to taste

Process:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook noodles according to package directions.

In large skillet, melt butter and add olive oil, then sauté onion until clear. Add baby English peas and tuna. Separate the tuna as much as you can. When this is heated through, add the soup and milk and stir to mix, heating to a simmer. Add the noodles and mix well. Season.

Pour mixture into a 9" x 13" baking dish, top with some cheese. How much? Well, how much do you like? :) The original recipe called for a half cup.

*snort*

I add at LEAST 2 cups. I use a mixture of mild cheddar and jack.

As for the other seasonings, it being tuna, I added a trace of dill, some lemon zest, and a wee touch of Italian mix.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or until the cheese is slightly browned and whole thing is bubbly and yummy.

I'm taking it to the kitchen now to be laid out on the serving table and judged.
