Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna (in water or oil, drained)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix (thawed)
- 0.5 cups onion (finely chopped)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 cups shoestring potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or oil.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, milk, sautéed onions, thawed peas and carrots, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tuna mixture.
Top the casserole with the shoestring potatoes, spreading them out in an even layer to create a crispy topping.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the shoestring potatoes are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Tuna Jackstraw Casserole!
