I appreciated many things about this casserole--the crunchy topping, the nutritional value, and the fact that it does not use a can of creamed soup as its base. Being a Yankee transport to the South several decades ago, I have become used to flavors that are more vibrant. This one for me did not have that vibrant flavor thing going on. I would have to perhaps add a teaspoon of Cajun\/Creole seasoning to make it come more alive. But of course, that's personal preference. Also, this one is not a \"30-Minute Meal\"--it does take time for preparation--and that's also ok if you have the time.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-08-28","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"momoflandl"},"reviewBody":"We enjoyed this recipe much better than the traditional tuna noodle casserole we grew up eating.

All tuna casseroles that I've tried are pretty bland, and this one isn't much better in that department.

Solid, but rather bland and needed a bit more moisture. Round two: used fresh herbs, pepper jack cheese, fresh broccoli which was pre blanched, shredded chicken, 3 minced cloves of garlic, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and fresh red bell pepper for color. Taste testers liked version two better. I did up the milk and chicken broth a bit too.
