    Very Good
    Much better than regular tuna casserole. I used peas, mushrooms(fresh), and green pepper and a little jalapeno. Picky hubby said it was pretty good - 12/7/15

    this was a great way to make a tuna casserole, tastes great, I used broccoli, onion and green pepper. Thanks for the wonderful variety. I also used spelt noodles which also was a good addition.

    Very Good
    I used carrots & celery for the veggies. I like more tomato than the soup provides. Wait to top w/ cheese until the end or it turns hard or try Parmesan mixed with bread crumbs to top. Layers didn't work well for me. I will mix it all. I like the change from the mushroom soup variety. Thanks. - 11/2/09

    Incredible!
    super yummy. I didn't have bell peppers but I did add broccoli and peas and I substituted 3/4 cup parmesan cheese b/c that's all I had. And I skipped the bread crumbs. Very good! - 3/4/08
