Ode to Tuna Casserole

What's for dinner - mmm tuna casserole. Quick, easy, cheap, comforting, crispy and creamy. Topped with breadcrumbs, french fried onions, potatoe chips and so on.... versatile with most of the ingredients already in the pantry.

Tuna is so easy, just open the can. No cooking, no chopping, just a quick drain in the sink and it's ready. Being the queen of the 20 minute supper, tuna makes a great base to build a meal.

There is something about peas that reminds me of simple times. Just think - pasta with alfredo sauce, chicken-n-dumplings with peas (and of course cranberry sauce on the side), buttery rice and peas, pea salad. The food mom makes to get something on the table for supper that is family and budget friendly.

Last night, hubby was teasing me giving me a $10 for the weeks groceries. I teased back telling him that we'd be eating ramen and tomato soup for supper next week. Unless of course he'd like to have the leftover tuna casserole?
