Does anyone have a good tuna casserole or a good recipe with tuna in it?

I would like something different than the same ole- cream of soup, egg noodles, and crushed potato chips.Does anyone have a good tuna casserole or a good recipe with tuna in it?
Tuna Casserole Recipe


Boil pasta (whatever kind you like, we usually use egg noodles)


1 can cream soup


1/2 can milk


1/2 cup mayo


1/4 cup onion


1 can peas


2 cans of tuna


1 cup shredded cheese





Just mix everything together, top with cheese and bake for about 25-30 minutes at 350 Degrees. I usually add whatever spices sound good at the moment, and occasionally add a small can of mushrooms also.





or





1 pkg. egg noodles


1 celery stalk (chopped)


1/2 med onion (chopped)


2-6 oz cans tuna (drained)


2-10.5 oz cans Cream of Mushroom Soup


3/4-14.5 oz can mixed peas and carrots (drained)


1 1/2 c. cheddar cheese


1/2 c. mozzerella cheese


Note: 1 pkg. frozen (thawed) mixed peas and carrots may be substituted for canned.


Boil noodles as directed on package, adding onion and celery the last 1-2 minutes. Drain noodles and add tuna, soup and vegetables, stirring until well blended.





Spread into a 13x9 baking pan, spreading cheese on top.





Bake in oven at 350 degrees until melted.Does anyone have a good tuna casserole or a good recipe with tuna in it?
This is good a good recipe:


Tuna cakes


1 can tuna, drained (I like the one packed in water)


1/4 tsp dijon mustard


1/4 cup bread crumbs (I use leftover whole wheat bread and grind it up in the food processor)


1 egg (or 1/4 egg substitute)


onion (optional)





Mix together, using pie plate with crumbs in it (2 inchs thick or more), make 4 to 6 patties, (or one big one if you want a big tuna burger sandwich), cover each one with the crumbs.





Place in preheated, oiled pan.





Brown on one side then flip it, to brown on other side.


-----


another variation:


Tuna Cakes


1 can tuna in water drained and mashed with fork


10-12 saltine crackers, crushed (I use saltine crackers in place of bread crumbs in any recipe)


1/4 c. onion diced


1 tsp. garlic powder


1 egg (1 egg per can of tuna used)


Salt and pepper to taste





Mash together ingredients with a fork and allow to sit for 30 min to allow crackers to absorb moisture and turn to a paste.





Form into balls then gently pat out to form a small cake (1 can makes 4 small cakes).





Heat skillet on med-high heat add olive oil and a small amount of butter.





Add cakes to oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.





Can add sliced cheese at the end to melt on top and serve on toast for a nice Tuna Patty Melt.

Dipping Sauce


1/2 cup mayonnaise


1/4 cup ketchup


1/2 cup chopped dill pickle relish


1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard


1 teaspoon garlic powder


1/2 teaspoon black pepper





Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl.

Chipotle Dressing:


1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro


2/3 cup light sour cream


1 T minced chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce


1 t ground cumin


1 t chili powder


4 t fresh lime juice


1/4 t salt





Mix, stirring well.





Tip: Add a spoonful of adobo sauce for a spicier taste.
