How to Make Merill's Tuna Casserole With Crescent Roll Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained, 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Unroll one can (8 oz) of refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Gently press the dough into the bottom of the dish to create the lower crust.
  4. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust.
  5. Unroll the second can (8 oz) of crescent roll dough. Cut the dough into 1/2-inch wide strips.
  6. Arrange the dough strips over the tuna mixture in a lattice pattern, weaving them over and under each other in a diagonal manner.
  7. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and puffed, and the filling is heated through.
