  • “I tried this tonight with sour cream and cheese soup.It was wonderfully creamy with a bit of an edge from the sour cream.Thanks”

  • “The cheese soup is something that I had never tried with tuna casserole before.I don’t think I will ever make another tuna casserole without it!Very good!”

  • “Great base recipe!I’m sure that it would have been fine as is, but I tweeked it for tastes here: omitted pimiento and used a mix for cream soup (#125100).Also used ranch dressing in place of milk or sour cream, peas for additional veggy and included seasoned bread crumbs with the Parmesan.As I said, personal preference, but a great base to spring from!”

  • “This is an excellent recipe.I substituted chopped red pepper and added a topping of crushed cheezits with two tablespoons of butter.Great!”

  • “This was soooo good and satisfying!I made it with yogurt and then used canned chicken instead of tuna on a whim, but I’m sure it is amazing with tuna, and topped it with cheddar as well. My two year old thanked me multiple times for dinner tonight!Thanks for posting!YUM!!”

  • “Easy but tasteless.I used the cheddar cheese soup.Needs seasoning salt or something.”

  • “Very, very tasty and easy recipe.My family likes it better than any of our other tuna recipes.Thanks, Dancer”

  • “Meant to review this along time ago. Very good recipe. I really like the variation to substitute 8oz sour cream for the milk. Great comfort food, Thank you.”

  • “I loved this recipe, thank you!”

  • “A very good recipe for tuna casserole. Thanks!”

  • “,,,This was fast and easy..I made enough for 6 servings and just the two of us ate it all…my husband likes the addition of frozen peas -nopimentos-but that was the only thing i changed,,the taste of the sauteed celery and onions was so delicious- we loved the crunch of the celery!!”

  • “At first my kids looked at it and said “EEEEEWWWWW, mom!”, then they tasted it. All plates were clean! I used cream of celery soup and omitted the chopped celery. The ingredients blend together nicely for a creamy flavor, but not overpowering. This is definitely a keeper, especially for quick lunches and light suppers.”

  • “This was a great recipe.I used cream of onion soup because my husband doesn’t like mushrooms, and I didn’t feel like cutting up an onion.It worked great.”

  • “One of my favourites!I usually top this casserole with dry breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter and parsley.Thanks for posting!!”

  • “Oh, this was great!My whole family loved it to no end.I used cream of mushroom soup and it was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly and I wouldn’t change a thing (except I didn’t use pimentos). I used the regular, not the creamy version of this casserole and it came out great. I liked this recipe because I had everything on hand, plus it was very easy. Thank you again Dancer^ for this very yummy keeper.”
