I appreciate the fact that this casserole serves two. It's often hard to make a dish for just two people without having a ton of leftovers. Plus, tuna casserole is definitely a comfort food that reminds me of growing up.

Tuna Casserole has always been one of my favorite go to meals, especially in the winter. This recipe looks pretty good, and a lot like I would make it myself. I do like to use fusilli pasta instead of noodles, as it is easier (and just as tasty) that way. I also use diced onions instead of scallions or green onions, and add frozen mushrooms and corn to add to the flavor and make it a well rounded one dish meal.

This was tasty! I typically only cook for one, so this was the perfect amount for me and leftovers the next day. I made it in one small casserole dish. The noodles on the very top were very hard, so I think I will use slightly less noodles next time.
