Cheesy Mushroom Tuna Casserole

Ok folks, you are going to have to bare with me… You see, I currently have about 8lbs of mushrooms sitting in my fridge from last weekend’s food showand they need to get eaten! That means mushroom recipes for the next 2 weeks!

Inspiration crept up on me Tuesday night, when I opened up my cupboards to find… not much… rotini noodles… a box of melba toast… peanut butter… a can of tuna… hmmm, I was craving something comforting, heavy, and warm. Yup, a Mushroom Tuna Casserole would do the trick.

Now normally I wouldn’t add frozen veggies to a dish like this {fresh tastes so much better}, but I did not want to leave the house, so in the frozen veggies went! In the end, it turned out pretty good… “J” liked it so much he took leftovers to work 2 days in a row…

I got a text from him earlier today telling me his whole office smelt like tuna… ha!
