Tuna!

[Sir Lerxst]

I like the canned stuff so long as it is decent quality and not some supermarket 'own brand'.

Tuna pasta bake

How could I have forgotten tuna noodle casserole? It's even good in frozen dinners!

When we first got married and had a $45 a week grocery budget we would eat this at least twice a week: Tuna mixed with mac & cheese with a can of drained peas stirred in.

 

It fed our family of 6 many many times.

 

Surprisingly, we still make it on occasion (if the kids are staying home for a while) and they all still like it.

Ah, memories of college days (minus the peas)! Helps if you're a salt-o-holic like me!

 

Speaking of tuna and salt, here's an easy recipe for one of the saltiest things I ever made - Tasty Tuna Dip:

 

1 6 oz. can tuna in water, drained, flaked

1 1 oz. envelope Italian salad dressing mix

1 8 oz. tub sour cream

1/4 cup chopped black olives, drained

 

Have water handy.

Honestly, i can't bring myself to even look at some "Shop - Owned Brands". Would rather pay the extra for quality (???) stuff.

 

As for tuna, nearest decent fishmonger is 12 miles away, and can't always guarantee availability or freshness so i seldom bother.
