The tastiest way to bake canned tuna is as an ingredient in another dish. Tuna casserole is a classic meal that works for dinner, lunch or as a holiday side dish. The versatility of a casserole allows you to experiment with different mixes to come up a family favorite. By combining the canned tuna with vegetables and a sauce, you build a dish that is filling and nutritious.
Step 1
Thaw the packages of frozen vegetables either by setting them out a few hours before making the casserole or by placing them in a bowl of hot water.
Step 2
Cook the rice following the instructions on the package. This may mean steaming in the microwave or boiling on the stove.
Step 3
Open and drain the cans of tuna.
Step 4
Mix all ingredients, except the rice, bread crumbs and cheese, in a casserole dish and stir thoroughly with a spoon.
Step 5
Add the rice into the dish and stir until it is distributed evenly throughout the pan.
Step 6
Mix the bread crumbs and cheese in a mixing bowl and sprinkle on top of the casserole.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place the dish in the center of the top rack.
Step 8
Bake the casserole for 30 minutes and then remove the foil and allow the crust to brown.
Step 9
Set on top of the stove for 10 minutes and then serve.
