How to Make Fine Tuned Tuna Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound of pasta (elbow macaroni recommended) until very al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. While pasta cooks, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil until softened. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  4. In a large greased casserole dish, combine the sautéed vegetables, two 5-ounce cans of albacore tuna (drained), 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 cup milk, and 1 cup cream of mushroom soup. Mix well.
  5. Stir in the cooked pasta until evenly distributed.
  6. Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately. Offer a small bowl of additional soy sauce on the side for diners to customize their servings.
