Really delicious! My husband loves tuna casserole, me and the kids not so much. This recipe takes it to another level, the stuffing and all the flavors really \"hide\" the flavor of the tuna.

This was very good. Will make again. But, like another review, I will mix the noodles in with the sauce. Will probably omit the bread crumbs, did not seem needed. And it was a bit dry, but still good.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"05\/15\/2011 20:04","GUID":"3ad86cca1c554c6197895b01227327e3","MemberId":3388747,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"BarbieVA","SubmittedDate":"05\/15\/2011 20:04"},{"Comment":"
My poor husband has gone without tuna casserole for 16 years because I have never tried one I could stomach. This recipe, however, is awesome!! It's so rich and hearty, it's hard to believe it's relatively good for us too! Hubby took it to work for lunch the next day and had to share it with two other people because it was so yummy! Thanks again TOH!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"03\/02\/2011 19:51","GUID":"1a4a66b62be544e5bb67d846dc2137e7","MemberId":4875805,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"nikidog","SubmittedDate":"03\/02\/2011 19:51"},{"Comment":"

This recipe is so awesome!!! I didn't use reduced fat, fat free or reduced sodium ingredients because I just don't like those products. But this is so creative, different and so yummy!!!

Very good flavor, but next time will leave the breadcrumbs for sprinkling over top. Also stir sauce and noodles together.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"","GUID":"28A83CCC45A54F80BDA1B82540693E80","MemberId":1049565,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"angela leach","SubmittedDate":"03\/14\/2009 08:53"},{"Comment":"
