Bobbie’s Tuna Casserole

Like a soufflé, really. A good luncheon recipe. I got this recipe from Aunt Elaine, who used to babysit these people when she was in nurse’s training.

8 slices bread
1/2 C. mayonnaise
1 green pepper, chopped
3 C. milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 cans tuna
1 onion, chopped
1 C. celery, chopped
4 eggs
American cheese, grated
Salt and pepper, to taste
Paprika

Dice 1/2 of bread in bottom of pan. Mix tuna, mayonnaise, onion, pepper and celery in a bowl and spread over diced bread. Trim the crust from the remaining bread (more may be needed) and place over tuna mixture. Mix eggs and milk. Add salt, pepper and pour over mixture. Place in refrigerator overnight. Bake at 325º for 15 minutes. Take out of the oven and spoon soup over the top. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika. Bake for 1+ hours.

Four Cans and a Bottle

I got this recipe from Mabel Holdiman. Her husband, Floyd, Grandpa, Uncle Rag and Uncle Rich fished together. I’m giving you this recipe the way it was sent to me.

“Recipe we gave Roger a sample of. Enjoy.”

1 can chicken a la king
1 small can Swanson’s light and dark chicken (break chunks into small piece)
1 can sliced mushrooms
1 can macaroni and cheese*
1/4 to 1/2 C. stuffed, sliced olives the bottle)

Spray or grease all/2-quart casserole. Put ingredients in. Stir and bake at 350º for 30 to 45 minutes.

*Macaroni and cheese is a Franco American brand. It is not available, I’ve found, everywhere. So at mom’s, we cooked a box of Kraft, made it a bit more creamy by adding more milk and used half of the boxed mix, cooked (in the recipe). Or you could make your own with Cheez Whiz or Velveeta and make it creamy. It is really tasty.
