Tuna bake

Hi Humbug, The sauce is not difficu;t to make. Melt about two tbs of butter/margarine in saucepan over a low heat. Add flour and stir in quickly to make a thick paste. Then add milk very slowly and stir like crazy so it does not go lumpy. If it goes lumpy then don't worry - just put the cooles sauce into a blender. Once the flour 'has coooked' in the milk the sauce will become thicker. zThen add a few cuups of cheese, maybe some onion and black pepper and salt. Pour over salmon - do what ever you want. The toamto paste cna be added to salmon Sprinkle cheese again on top of dish and bake uncovered in oven for about 30 mins or less. The abopve is only a rough guide to amounts. You may want to try this with left over chicken. It is really good. could also add left over veggies to sauce. I hope that his helps. God Bless.

Hi Humbug. I love pasta bake, its one of the best feel good meals. I've never tryed salmon in pasta bake....i'll try that next time. My children are fussy sometimes, for instant my youngest does not like tomato, so i make my pasta bake: loads of cheese on the bottom, mixed with tuna, pasta, onions, grated carrots, and more cheese on the top and put in the oven to bake. Goes down well with the kids yum yum. (i must try that salmon one)

My favorite way to make this is to use albacore tuna (drained). I cook the egg noodles, drain and place them in a casserole dish. Then I add a can of cream of mushroom soup and the tuna (flaked with a fork). Add some cheddar cheese to the mix and top with crushed potato chips. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 F oven.

hmmm,i have a great recipe fo you my friend,hope you like it Tuna Bake with Mushrooms * 4 ounces sliced mushrooms * 2 tablespoons butter * 1 tablespoon flour * 1 cup milk * 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs * 1 can ( 7 ounces) tuna, flaked and drained * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley * 1 teaspoon salt * 1/8 teaspoon pepper * 2 eggs, beaten Sauté mushrooms in butter. Blend in flour; add milk and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Add bread crumbs, tuna, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir in beaten eggs. Spoon mixture into a buttered shallow baking dish. Place baking dish in a larger pan with about an inch of hot water. Bake at 350° for about 35 to 45 minutes. Tuna recipe serves 6.

Like you I used to cook this a lot and then the children went off it big time. I just used a shop packet mix,hope you get some good ideas

I love tuna bake in fact I make it often for me and th ekids hubby isnt keen on it but that is because of the white sauce which he deosnt like, it is a very similar recipe to fish pie but with pasta instead of mash. I basically get tuna, sweetcorn and cold pasta and mix together in a white sauce or cheese sauce and then pop it in the oven easy peasy.
