OLD FASHIONED TUNA CASSEROLE



Old Fashioned Tuna Casserole image

This is a favorite from my childhood, think 1950-60's, that is one of my all-time comfort foods. There are ways to bring it up to today's standards like using fresh asparagus, fat free cream soup and baked potato chips - I do all but the chips :) ! When using fresh asparagus get 2 bunches and steam lightly first but not too soggy, if using canned try to feel out the woody stems and toss out. This can be used with leftover or canned chicken or turkey (about 1.5-2 cups chopped) but never substitute the cream of chicken soup or another cream soup, like mushroom, it seems like a good idea but it doesn't taste right.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (14 1/2 ounce) bag potato chips, not wavy
3 -4 stalks celery, cut into 1/4 inch pieces, about 2 cups
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans asparagus spears, cut and drained or 2 bunches fresh asparagus, cut cooked and drained
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water, squeeze out as much water as possible, may substitute with 2 cups leftover chicken
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, fat free is OK
4 ounces cheddar cheese, grated, anything from colby to sharp cheddar depending on taste

Steps:

  • Using a large (9"x13") casserole dish begin by crushing a layer of chips on the bottom not into powder but just broken pieces to make a full layer, I usually use less than half a bag but you want to cover the bottom well.
  • Proceed to layer the remaining ingredients using all in the order listed - celery, asparagus, tuna - then spread the undiluted cream of chicken soup carefully so you don't mix up your layers.
  • Sprinkle with cheese, it's OK to use a little extra if you like or less if you are looking to reduce calories.
  • Top with crushed chips and bake in a 325 oven for 45 minutes or till hot all the way through. If your chips are beginning to brown you may want to cover with foil at the end but not the whole way through or they will get soggy.
  • Enjoy with green or fruit salad or sliced tomatoes!

DEAR ABBY'S FAMOUS PECAN PIE



Dear Abby's Famous Pecan Pie image

This recipe by Abigail Van Buren (aka Pauline Phillips) is published from time to time in her "Dear Abby" column. Jeanne Phillips, the original Abby's daughter, and the current "Dear Abby" adds this tip: The original recipe stated that the pie should be baked 45-50 minutes in a preheated 350 degree gas oven. If an electric oven is used, it may be necessary to add 15-20 minutes to the baking time. (Begin testing the pie with a toothpick after 45 minutes.)

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 8

unbaked 9-inch pie crust
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted (I imagine that margarine can be substituted.)
1/3-1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecan halves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, salt and vanilla; mix well.
  • Pour filling into unbaked pie crust.
  • Sprinkle with pecan halves.
  • Bake for 45- 50 minutes or until center is set.
  • (Toothpick inserted in center will come out clean, when pie is done.).
  • (If crust or pie appears to be getting too brown, cover with foil for the remaining baking time.).
  • Cool.
  • You can top it with a bit of whip cream if desired.

CHEESY TUNA CASSEROLE



Cheesy Tuna Casserole image

A super easy and inexpensive dish that kids seem to love. My daughters will ask for this over and over again. I came up with the seasonings on my own, as a lot of tuna casseroles just seemed a bit too bland to me. The flavors really seem to work together.
