Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups white rice
- 3 cups water
- 2 cans canned tuna, drained

- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, drained canned tuna, pineapple chunks, shredded cheddar cheese, and cream of mushroom soup.
Add soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Tuna Rice and Pineapple Casserole!
