About Tuna casserole
Tuna casserole is a comforting, baked dish that typically combines canned tuna, pasta or rice, peas, and a creamy sauce, often made with condensed soup or a homemade roux. Commonly topped with breadcrumbs, cheese, or crushed crackers, it is baked until golden and bubbly. Originating in mid-20th century America, tuna casserole became popular for its affordability and ease of preparation, often served as a family-friendly meal. While it provides protein from tuna and vitamins from added vegetables like peas or mushrooms, its nutritional profile can vary. The dish is often high in sodium, fats, and calories due to processed ingredients like canned soup and cheese. Healthier versions may include whole-grain pasta, low-fat dairy, and fresh vegetables, making it more balanced while retaining its rich flavors. Tuna casserole remains a nostalgic staple in many households, celebrated for its hearty and customizable nature.
