Great alternative to "Tuna Noodle Casserole." We all enjoyed this - it's different. I used the Creole spice recipe in the notes (would add more garlic and thyme), 2 cans of tuna, a little more flour and 1/2 cup milk. I had a can of stewed tomatoes with peppers, onion and celery already in it, and like others, added celery and onion and extra green pepper to the recipe. I always keep a bag of frozen diced peppers on hand, and used dehydrated onion. I used a kitchen scissors to cut up the tomato chunks in the stewed tomatoes because my son doesn't like big pieces of tomato. All came together so well, and fast. Had to use spiral pasta but will have rice next time. Thanks for a very tasty, easy entree!

This was surprisingly tasty! I had leftover mahi mahi from making sushi and was looking for a “different” recipe to use it in. I pan fried the mahi mahi with a little salt and pepper, and decided to try it in this recipe. I made it as written, adding a little hot sauce at the end (after a taste test). I tossed it with whole wheat pasta and added some leftover roasted asparagus I had on hand. It was delicious, well rounded, filling, and satisfying! From start to finish, the entire dinner took about 15 minutes to throw together. Next time, I’ll add some onion and garlic, but it was wonderful as written!

This is quick and delish. We doubled up on all the ingredients. Original recipe indicates 4 servings, but I think it's really only two servings unless you eat really really small amounts. We didn't have green bell peppers so substituted red peppers instead. We also added celery (stalk and half), and a small yellow onion. We made the creole seasoning from the allrecipes substitute ingredients and we also doubled the amount of black pepper. We served over basmati rice. We tend to add hot sauce or peppers to everything but this was spiced so nicely no extra spice was necessary (an unusual occurrence in our spice loving home). I think the celery really adds to the recipe. We will definitely make this again.

This was very good, and different which is always appreciated. I followed the recipe exactly, but doubled it, and tripled the seasoning listed in footnotes as many commented that it needed more seasoning. We thought the seasoning was just right so I'm glad I did that. The only change I might make next time is to add another can of tuna.

This was delicious! I used a bag of fresh spinach instead of green pepper and I used a can of diced tomatoes with green chile peppers. I left out the salt and pepper and served it over brown rice. Can't wait to make this again!

Good, I added green pepper and onion as other reviews suggested and made the creole seasoning from the footnotes... I didn't have paprika so I substituted chili powder, I also added more garlic powder. I also added another can of tuna and served it over whole wheat rotini!!

This is good! I followed the advice of one reviewer and was sure to use UNDRAINED tomatoes and the consistency turned out great. I omitted the salt because of the canned ingredients and creole seasoning. The end result didn't have as much kick as I would have liked, so I added another teaspoon of Creole seasoning and a few dashes of hot sauce. Yum!

This made me rethink using tuna in a hot dish. I used half red and half green pepper and fresh grape tomatoes so I had to add a bit more milk, which meant another 1/2 tsp of spice mix. I served it over hot buttered noodles with fresh green beans and there wasn't a morsel left. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
