Gluten Free Tuna Noodle Casserole Food

GLUTEN FREE TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375℉
• Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat until fragrant and bubbly. Add mushrooms, peppers, and onions and cook, stirring occasionally until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in GF flour and cook for 1 minute. Cooking the flour keeps your sauce from tasting like raw flour. Remove from the heat and whisk the milk in. Then return to the heat and cook, whisking, until the sauce comes to a boil and is thickened, about 10 minutes. The mixture will thicken as it heats. Just keep stirring over a medium low heat. Make sure to scrape the bottom of you pot so the flour doesn't stick. Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat and add cheddar cheese, whisk until melted.
• Drain tuna and turn into a bowl, breaking into flakes with a fork. Add to the baking dish. Stir in the hot cheese sauce and cooked pasta. Bake until bubbly and browned on top, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
