I thought Book Group was NEXT Saturday.
It wasn't. A friend, MaryAlise, called at 4 pm, and said it was tonight at 6 pm.
This is my Tuna Hotdish, what's yours?
I dash into the kitchen, and grab a 3 quart Corning Spice O' Life, and the Pam.
I then boil some water for noodles (8 ounces dry, medium width).
Chop and saute in butter, a medium onion, and one clove of garlic. Not until brown, but until tender.
Throw the noodles into the boiling water, and then get the rest of it together.
2 cans of Cream of Mushroom (I had Cambell's from the coupon special last month. The store brand works, too.)
2 cans of Chunk Light tuna in water, drained (Mr. Boris likes the water on his kibble.)
1 small can of mushrooms, drained
1/2-3/4 cup real mayonnaise. What it adds in flavour is worth the calories. I don't make this every week.
2-3 tablespoons milk or half-and-half (light cream). Depends on what's in the fridge, and has to be used.
Combine, and add the onions and garlic.
By this time, the noodles should be almost done. You don't want them very done, you want them just done.
Drain them, add them.
Add to the casserole dish, and top with whatever you have, crushed potato chips, crushed Ritz crackers....
I was out of chips, and the Gentleman Caller of last week finished the Ritz crackers. I made buttered bread crumbs...two slices of bread in the processor, with a glob of butter melted in the onion pan. Add while the processor is running.
Bake about a half hour in a 350F oven. If it looks anaemic, turn on the broiler (grill) for a few minutes, but watch carefully.
Serves 6-10, depending on what else is there.
I didn't have much leftover.
