“I’ve had tuna casserole once in my life almost thirty years ago and didn’t know if I would like this. (The idea of hot canned tuna scared me.) I LOVE it! Omitted peas and added some fresh dill, low fat sour cream, lemon zest, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ” — a cook, 5.0★
“I have made this recipe so many times now that I don’t even need the instructions! It’s a perfect, lightened up version of what would be considered “classic” (and tastes better IMO). I like to add a bit of garlic powder and turmeric in mine. Thanks, Gina for k” — a cook, 5.0★
