Last night I was looking for comfort food. I found this recipe and it was something in between green bean casserole without the cream of crap soup, and tuna casserole so I decided to give it a shot.
Now, I will go ahead and tell you know that the recipe was used as a very rough basis because I changed almost everything.
The tuna was the same but the recipe only had 1/2 cup of green beans. How many people is that supposed to feed as a casserole? I added a whole bag of frozen green beans. I just popped them in the microwave for a few minutes before mixing it up to defrost them. I used about 1/4 c. sautéed onion instead of 1T. I upped the sour cream to 1/2 c. to make up for the increase in beans but left the mayo the same. I didn't have cheddar so I used mozzarella. I also increased the seasonings to fit our taste.
It was still a fail. It was too fishy. I also should have increased the cook time by about another 20 minutes to make up for the amount of beans. I am not making it again, but if the tuna was reduced to one can instead of three I can see it being okay. It's just too much hassle for something my girls won't even touch.
You win some, you lose some. I want to keep track of both so I am not forgetting why I didn't like specific recipes.
