Default Tuna Casserole for Dinner

No canned soup. Made a white sauce and added 4 chopped mushrooms, dried
onion, parsley, a little salt and plenty of black pepper. Zapped it with the
immersion blender then cooked it down a little. Tuna from a pouch, peas and
some brown rice macaroni. Baked through with some potato chips on top for
serving. Yummy!

How is that crap? It might not be to your taste, but it's not crap.

Although I think the quantity of mushrooms is so small as to be pointless.

why is that crap? She made an accepted recipe for a casserole and
instead of using canned soup made the sauce herself.
Let's see some of the fine dining you prepare.

If they were whole button mushrooms she chopped up, that would be plenty,
especially if she made a smaller sized casserole. Im not particularly
fond of mushrooms myself, so i generally make my tuna hotdish (casserole)
without them, or leave them sliced so I can pick them out before eating.

I'd prefer mine with lots of assorted 'shrooms and no tuna, I don't
like tinned tuna cooked.

What do you mean by conbentional food? I grew up eating tuna casserole. I
can't use the traditional egg noodles because I can't have eggs and my
gardener can't have wheat. This works for both of us. Chips go on when
served only because he doesn't eat them.

They were larger mushrooms. The casserole was going to be small but Angela
contacted me and wanted some. I had extra pasta and was considering what to
do with it so added it and more tuna. I did hers separately so she could
bake it at home tonight. The proportions were fine. None of us are big into
mushrooms but we like this.

This was in the pouch. I used to use Asst. dried mushrooms but those have
gotten expensive.

That was an interesting read, but Id quibble with a couple facts it
lists. As a lifelong Minnesotan, home of the hotdish (aka casserole),
Ive eaten a lot of tuna casserole in my time. And I do mean a LOT. Ive
never once encountered it with onion in it, nor corn, and cheese only
occasionally (personally I think cheese isnt a benefit to it). It also
takes longer than 30 minutes to assemble and cook, more like an hour.

I'll go along with you on the cheese. I've always put a bit of celery
and onion in my tuna casserole.
I grew up in Wisconsin, the east side, and lived a while in LaCrosse.
I lived a while in Minneapolis and went to many church functions and
never heard of a casserole referred to as a hotdish. I never heard of
hotdish until Barb brought it up here.
It would be interesting to find out the origins of the term. Was it
localized or part of a certain ethnic group or what.

Casseroles have many homes, then.

I've never developed much of a taste for casseroles. When I was a picky
kid, I wouldn't eat foods that were "all mixed up"; nowadays casseroles
are generally too fatty and carby for me. And I still prefer my food in
discrete servings, although I'm not bratty about it anymore.

I'm impressed with the variety of casseroles that Wikipedia lists on its
casserole page:

I have no idea when or where the term came from, but it was always used in
my area growing up, which was far southeastern MN, just over the river from
LaCrosse, in and around Winona. I dont hear it much here in Minneapolis,
but I blame that on city folk.

Interestingly enough, I had never, ever heard of kringle until I met my
college roommate from Wisconsin (in Winona), and was surprised to learn how
ever present it was, just across the River in Wisconsin while it was
nowhere to be found in MN.

I had never heard of kringle either until I had a boss who thought
that the angels made it. We were all forced to contribute some
money for each weekly office meeting and got a lousy, skinny piece of
dough with a dab of something.
I figured it out one day. For what she charged us each week I could
have supplied everyone with orange juice, blueberry muffins, coffee
hard boiled eggs and bacon. What a rip off!

As we all know, most bosses are incompetent. I had a lousy, skinny, piece of dough with a dab of something. Actually, it was a graham cracker with some macadamia nut brittle spread on it. It was totally awesome! You can bet that I'm going to have to make some.

That's why they are added when serving. You can add them or not. My mom
topping with chips or saltines. I didn't like the saltines.

You probably like the texture of mushrooms. We don't!

A topping on any casserole is good, imo. I topped mine with bread
crumbs and a bit of cheese to melt on and brown. It's all
personal choice. If YOU like it, that's all the matters.

LOL! YOu take the cake here, Julie. Always amusing with your
dislikes. One wonders how you are still alive sometimes.

I absolutely love all mushrooms as long as they are cooked
a bit in butter, oil, even water.

A dry (raw) mushroom in a salad is such a fail here.

What's amusing is she added mushrooms to the casserole even thought "we"
don't like the texture. Why add them at all?

raw mushrooms are good. the only way i eat them is to marinate them in some type of italian dressing. store bought is ok, but better is olive oil, apple cider vinegar, prepared mustard, a bit of oregano, and some minced garlic.

BIG fan of mushrooms here. I'll take them anyway you want to serve them.

One year, the day after Thanksgiving, my husband and I went to Winco
to do some grocery shopping. In the produce section there were 3 big
full boxes of the brown mushrooms marked 98 cents/pound. I got as
many as I figured I could use up in a week, 10 days. (that was before
I had a recipe for marinated mushrooms) Because of that sale I never
miss checking out the mushroom area ;-)

anything like that)

WOW! You really snagged a bargain there! The only mushrooms that I've been
disappointed in were some marked down oak mushrooms. They were about like
eating an oak branch, but I really don't know what they should have tasted
like.

I don't mind raw ones in a salad, but I'd rather not.

For the flavor! I used the immersion blender to get rid of the slimy
texture.
