You can use Uncle Ben's real "par boiled" white rice instead of noodles, not so much starch as noodles, if you are worried. My husband can eat that, being diabetic. I increased to two cans of tuna so each serving has more protein. Add a bit more evaporated milk if you like it "wetter"............

I could eat Tuna Casserole every day. Only made one major change, used potato chips on top. The chopped onion gave it a really good flavor. I have two more tuna casserole recipes from your site that I will be making. Keep giving us good recipes.

How can this be a good recipe for diabetics with the pasta?

Was it listed as being a good recipe for diabetics? I'm sure there are many recipes online or in cookbooks that are good for diabetics. Maybe this just isn't one of them. There are probably other tuna dishes out there that would be great.

No vrga, regular pasta would not work very well for you, if you're a diabetic.... but did you ever hear of "Shirataki Pasta Zero"? It's made by "Nasoya", and it's usually found in the 'cooler' at the supermarket by the fresh herbs and the organic stuff. An entire 8 oz. bag of pasta contains only 30 calories and 8 carbs. It tastes somewhat different than regular pasta, but if you like pasta, you might want to try to get used to the taste. Actually, it's not too bad after you rinse it well, and cook it in simmering water for about 10 minutes. I hope this info was helpful to you. Good luck, and good health to you.

I searched all over the page, but did not find any "calorie count" to click onto. Maybe I am not fully awake yet! LOL

This is an excellent Tuna Casserole, BUT ..... My kids prefer one that is much easier to make. Buy your favorite "boxed" Mac and Cheese. Prepare it according to the box directions -- up to the adding of the cheese. Add in 1 can of Solid White Tuna in water (drained); 1 can of Peas (or peas and carrots) drained; Mix thoroughly. Add the cheese and stir until mixed. Serve immediately --- Total time about 15 minutes and that includes boiling the pasta. My youngsters called this "Stove Top Tuna Noodle Casserole."

I've been making it this way for almost 50 years.....quick easy, and usually have everything on hand in the pantry. I usually wind up adding just a bit more milk. And nice not having to turn on the oven, especially in the summer.

Interesting. On the frequent nights when my dad didn't eat dinner with us, I grew up eating a tuna casserole - including all of the then larger sized cans - with evaporated milk, canned tuna, cream of mushroom soup, a small can of peas, a few shakes of black pepper and .................... a smashed up bag of potato chips all mixed together and baked until hot. Loved it! And even enjoyed eating the leftovers cold the next day or two when I went home for lunch. Though this recipe is a bit better, comfort is all in what we love best. Thanks for the memory. And I just might try this recipe in the near future.

Boy this was simple! I loved the addition of cheese and cheese crackers. Next time I will drop the onion and use chicken and mushroom soup instead. Really good.
