Cooked how?

"1 cup finely sliced fresh celery (cooked)"

Sweated in butter?

Hey! Don't you get saucy with me, Bearnaise!

That's a bechamel!

I do like me a nice tuna noodle casserole every now and then, although mine is a very basic condensed-soup-topped-with-crushed-potato-chips version. Yours looks great! I always enjoy the Kevin and Ralph productions.

Peter - my bad! You have it right in the saucy department! It's a bechamel indeed! Julia Child would give you a gold star!

Also, you want to cook the celery to tender - you could sweat in butter or steam.

Thanks for being saucy!

Finally a tuna casserole without frozen peas and cream of mushroom soup!!!!

Trying this this weekend. For some stupid reason I've been craving tuna casserole!

Thanks for posting this, even if it was nearly 4 years ago lol.

Just tell em Charley sent ya...

Having been brought up in a fairly strict Catholic household (my mom spent her early years is an orphanage in Oakland run by really mean nuns,) Lent was always a big thing to me. So was not eating meat on Fridays until one day I scarfed down a piece of bologna on a Friday and nothing happened...no lightning bolt coming through the kitchen ceiling. During a Catholic tour of Italy a few years ago a friend/priest called me a "heathen" in St. Peter's in the Vatican after I simply asked a question, "what was better, touching the foot of this big statue of St. Peter in the cathedral or touching the nose of this pig in a fountain in a town square in Florence?' I figured this sealed my fate so Lent is meaningless now.

 

Now for the important part of my message...those cans of Starkist qualify you for a reward, $25 in cash or $50 in Starkist coupons. You don's need the cans, labels or any receipt. The link above will guide you (or any other members who purchased Starkist tuna) to your cash or coupons. 

 

The casserole, like all your creations, looks great.

Finally made this tonight!!! Love it!

I was afraid I wasn't going to have enough sauce left, I kept tasting everything as I was making it.... Lol.

Definitely a keeper![this post was last edited: 9/7/2015-21:44]
