I've never tuna with nuts before.
I'd try it but meat loaf and tuna casseroles are
the two things I'm not "allowed" to cook. lol

Paul's mom made them 1 too many times when
he was growing up.

Here is one that my Grandma made. I love it!! GRANDMA'S CHINESE TUNA CASSEROLE

• 1 can chunk tuna(6 oz., can use a larger size if wanted) , drained well
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1 c. cooked wide noodles
• 1 c. chow mein noodles
• 1/2 c. chopped celery
• 1/2 c. chopped onion
• 1 can Chinese vegetables, well drained (I use a large can or two 14-15 oz. cans)
• 1/4 lb. cashews

Mix all and put into a buttered casserole dish . Bake at 350o for 20 minutes. You can also use chicken instead of tuna in this recipe.

I have made it the same as Filus59602, only I like cashews with tuna better. It all depends on your likes.
