I doubled the recipe, but had to add 2 cups of liquid to the roux to make it a sauce. Wonder if a "1" was forgotten before the "3\/4 cup" of milk? Added peas and mushrooms, definitely used the chives and roasted pimentos. Anything to add some more flavor to a cassarole is good!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"","GUID":"f73b762ec3cc42c3bbd55221591219e5","MemberId":7497272,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Christiesworld","SubmittedDate":"01\/14\/2014 20:17"},{"Comment":"
This was a Friday night staple for many years when my kids were growing up. Pimentos were a luxury so were left out but I added a can of peas just before baking. Ritz crackers were a treat but made it sooooo good.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"","GUID":"0F64C17B8BC54646B24483666BDE55D9","MemberId":3943826,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jodie63a","SubmittedDate":"01\/13\/2014 20:40"},{"Comment":"

This is pretty rich, but we LOVE it!! Much better and different than any recipe with CANNED SOUP or using cheddar cheese (which doesn't really go with seafood anyway). We double this recipe and omit the pimentos and chives. SO good! Thanks for our new "go to" recipe for tuna casserole. :)<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"08\/07\/2012 14:48","GUID":"0e8b5f1ad20547768b582f091f025ce6","MemberId":5244730,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"cindylu35","SubmittedDate":"08\/07\/2012 14:48"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"07\/22\/2012 18:30","GUID":"747730582e6341b595fa87df0cbc15ff","MemberId":2755435,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"johnsen","SubmittedDate":"07\/22\/2012 18:30"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"10\/20\/2011 22:57","GUID":"51d8f55a37d545c79714c16683de516f","MemberId":1861565,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"PEACEANGEL24","SubmittedDate":"10\/20\/2011 22:57"},{"Comment":"

I trippled the recipie since I have 2 grown men to feed! I also added 1 tsp of oregano flakes, 1 tsp of garlic powder, a can of peas and an extra can of tuna. It didn't seem to have enough tuna in it. I didn't have bread crumbs so I crushed up mulitgrain saltine crackers as a substitute. Also, I just used the mozzerella and sharp chedder shredded cheese that I had on hand. Our family loves cheese so I put a layer on before the noodles and before the bread crumbs. This recipie was good. Not amazing but, I will make it again! The second day, it is alot better as leftovers!<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"11\/21\/2010 18:57","GUID":"fd1b9690f8774295a92a9568bcaf0791","MemberId":5423021,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"chantelmckenzie","SubmittedDate":"11\/21\/2010 18:57"},{"Comment":"
Sounds good. Good versions of Munster cheese are hard to find the U.S. but is most comparable to regular American cheese. American white, swiss, provolone or Monterrey Jack may also be substituted.<\/p>","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"11\/04\/2010 16:14","GUID":"def4b6e1997a4149900b388ff04d978e","MemberId":1579946,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"cee-jay","SubmittedDate":"11\/04\/2010 16:14"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"08\/23\/2010 12:50","GUID":"84db25f0ca7541faa4d2bc3e52b88033","MemberId":5362567,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"JJCR","SubmittedDate":"08\/23\/2010 12:50"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":24,"DateRated":"05\/16\/2010 16:30","GUID":"493c3d8a6b68430abcb82d7011096043","MemberId":1295982,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"idahopotato","SubmittedDate":"05\/16\/2010 16:30"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":25,"DateRated":"08\/19\/2009 21:12","GUID":"da0a7b67ed54440ca6832e631caecdbf","MemberId":2253876,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ctraeger","SubmittedDate":"08\/19\/2009 21:12"},{"Comment":"
