LIGHT-BUT-HEARTY TUNA CASSEROLE



Light-But-Hearty Tuna Casserole image

My boyfriend grew up loving his mother's tuna casserole and says he can't even tell that this one is light! We have it at least once a month. I usually serve it with a salad, but it has enough veggies to stand on its own. -Heidi Carofano, Brooklyn, New York
