Cheesy Tuna Casserole

I never liked tuna casserole growing up. I didn’t like casseroles much in general so it wasn’t an indictment on tuna specifically!

Now, of course, I love them. They’re easy to make, the ingredients are usually affordable, and you can always find one that appeals to everyone.

In our family, the one everyone can agree on is cheesy tuna casserole. I came up with this one after several attempts with different recipes, and finally hit on a combination that isn’t bland or boring.

Cheesy Tuna Casserole

1 lb medium shell pasta
1-1/2 oz sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tb Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup frozen peas
2 6oz cans tuna, trained
1/2 cup sliced green onion
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Boil pasta according to package directions, drain. In a large bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mustard, salt, pepper, peas, and tuna until combined. Mix in pasta until everything is combined. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with one cup of grated cheddar cheese and put in the oven for another five minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve.
