Hot Crossed Tuna Casserole
Recently on the parenting message board I belong to at that spot was a news well-nigh tuna casseroles. It made me intend of this ane my mom used to brand when I was little. It was our vecino Julie's recipe. It's non your typical tuna, cream of mushroom, noodle casserole either. I was glad my mom knew where to uncovering the recipe because ane time I started thinking well-nigh it, I couldn't stop. I also couldn't halt thinking well-nigh cheddar too sour cream murphy chips because ane of my friends said her mom topped tuna casserole amongst those. Damn...now I'm thinking well-nigh cheddar too sour cream chips again. Sigh. At to the lowest degree they come upwards inwards a baked diversity too thus I don't convey to experience as guilty when I consume them.
Anyway, ane time my mom gave me the recipe I had to arrive inside days. Thankfully all I genuinely needed for it were the crescent rolls. I'll acknowledge I was a fighting nervous well-nigh it since the terminal fourth dimension I remembered having it I intend my historic menses was inwards unmarried digits. I liked spam a lot, too, when my historic menses was inwards unmarried digits, but I doubtfulness I could tum it now.

I modified the master copy recipe slightly; what's posted to a higher house is how I made it. I only added to a greater extent than tuna too peas. I similar peas. I sentiment the sauce recipe was sort of funny--sounds similar tzaziki (I convey no sentiment how to piece that, past times the way) to me, but perchance inwards suburban Seattle inwards the belatedly 70s too early on 80s it was easier to only telephone phone it cucumber sauce. Who cares, it's tasty.
I'm happy to study that this dish was inwards fact every bit tasty every bit I remembered it. My bff Clementine (she's decided we're also codependent on each either too thus we've come upwards up amongst novel monikers for each other to arrive seem that nosotros convey other friends. We genuinely produce convey other friends, but I sentiment it would last fun to telephone phone her Clementine.) was over ane twenty-four hours terminal calendar week to brand plum jam (aptly named Jamfest) too sampled roughly of the leftovers because she was skeptical when I told her well-nigh it. She approved too told me to post it too thus she could brand it. I beloved me a skillful casserole, too this totally fits the bill. My kids loved it, too. Boy #2 genuinely had leftovers of it twice for luncheon too cleaned his plate each fourth dimension he ate it Winner winner, tuna dinner!
