Method: How to make Meat’s tuna casserole surprise
1.Preheat the oven to 200˚C.
2.Boil the peas, corn, celery and carrots in separate pans of salted water until just becoming tender. Drain the vegetables and then sauté with a little olive oil until cooked through. Remove from the heat.
3.Meanwhile cook the noodles according to instructions and drain.
4.Flake the tinned tuna into the sautéed vegetables. Pour over the condensed soup and mix thoroughly. If the mixture is a little thick add a tablespoon of water to thin it out. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
5.Layer half the noodles into the bottom of a large casserole dish. Spoon half of the tuna mixture on top and repeat the layers. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top and cover with a mixed layer of the Monterey Jack and normal cheddar. Finish with a generous sprinkling of crushed crisps.
6.Bake for 20 – 30 minutes until the dish is heated through and the cheese has melted.
