Tuna Casserole

[jpierce]

Does anyone have any good tuna casseroles? Something good and cheesy maybe. I love tuna but I'm sick of just tuna fish and mayo. Thanks everyone.

Re: Tuna Casserole

I haven't attempted this, but you got me thinking.

I have said this a hundred times before...I love spaghetti squash. Cook some of that up, make a cheese sauce, mix it all with the tuna...and whatever else you like and voila...tuna cassarole.

I need to try this. I also love tuna!

If you do a search, you'll find a recipe for Tuna Melt. If you want to make that in larger quantities, I think it will be doable.
