We really enjoyed this bake with some steamed veg tonight. Simple, tasty and economical!  Thanks Cookie.

We had this for dinner tonight and it was a resounding success! My tuna-disliking DH wen back for seconds and was full of praise. Kids ate it without any complaints too. I thought it was yummy and am glad to have a tuna bake back in the repetoire.

I added frozen peas and corn, used a combination of tasty and mozarella cheeses, and topped with baked breadcrumbs so had a nice crunch throughout. May try sneaking in some asparagus next time...

Thanks Cookie!

My pleasure.

I've been making this quite often.  It is the only tuna dish that we all enjoy.  I double the recipe and fill two medium lasagne dishes.  It is great to have a meal in the freezer or to use later in the week. I use 300g macaroni and add a tin of corn kernals.

Thanks. I will do the same. One for now and one for the freezer.

Another great tasty dish that was so quick and easy - thanks Cookie.  I used salmon as that was what was in the pantry - added 1/2 cup peas and same of corn - followed Julie's suggestion and browned the crumbs on stove top - yum!!!!!

Thanks for this recipe, Cookie, which I found via CP63s fabulous favourites list.  I love tuna and found this recipe very yummy.  I think the mustard is the secret ingredient! There are only 3 of us at home at the moment, but my son and husband are big eaters and I didn't feel like cooking a heap of veg to serve on the side, so I used more pasta and also added corn and just chucked in a little more butter, milk and flour--not a very scientific approach!  Anyway, it all worked and was so darn easy!  Next time I will toast the crumbs as Julie O suggested.  Thanks this will become a regular thing to cook for those "I can't be bothered cooking" nights!  Much cheaper and healthier than takeaway!

Made this for our supper this evening.All three of us enjoyed it immensely.Didn't have macaroni, so used 200g of penne and mixed in some peas.Thanks Cookie for the very easy,fast, tasty, recipe.

Left this recipe for DH to make last night. I'm not a fish eater but was able to eat this as there wasn't a really strong tuna flavour. I got him to include some carrot and peas which added to the veggie content a little.  Unfortunately he covered with bought breadcrumbs (something I would never use) rather than making his own, the bought breadcrumbs are way too fine and don't brown up like fresh and ended up a little soggy. A good easy recipe that everyone was happy enough to eat.

Glad it was enjoyed.

I made this yesterday and simply slipped it in the oven tonight for a delicious after work meal that the whole family ate. I also added corn and beans, and baked the bread crumbs first. Thanks cookie1

I like the idea of baking the breadcrumbs first.

Nice and quick, thanks Cookie 
It was just DD and I tonight, so that's when we have tuna ( the boys can't stand it)



I increased pasta to 200g, omitted the mustard, and used 4 x 95g tins of John West mild Indian curry tuna.
