Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 3 tablespoons chopped green pepper
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 1 (12 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • DOUGH:
  • 2 cups biscuit/baking mix
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced pimientos
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons water

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, saute onion and green pepper in butter. Blend in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in milk; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in soup, tuna, lemon juice and salt. Pour into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
  2. For dough, combine biscuit mix and milk until blended. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Sprinkle with cheese, pimientos and parsley. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Cut into 1-in. slices; place over tuna mixture. Beat egg and water; brush over the swirls. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
