One Pot Tuna Casserole Recipes

ONE POT TUNA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, adding peas for the final 3 minutes of cooking; drain.
• Melt the butter in the same pot over medium heat. Add the mushroom soup, tuna, milk, and Cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese is melted, and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the pasta and peas until evenly coated.

TUNA ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Stir together Alfredo sauce, lemon juice, capers, lemon zest, and pepper in a small saucepan. Stir in tuna; cook over medium heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve over fettuccine.

EASY SLOW COOKER TUNA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray to coat.
• Combine milk, condensed soup, and garlic in the slow cooker. Stir in tuna, Cheddar cheese, then mushrooms. Add macaroni, season with salt and pepper, and stir to mix.
• Cover and cook on Low until pasta is very soft, 5 to 6 hours.

ONE-PAN TUNA-WHITE BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In an ovenproof skillet, sauté a chopped onion (or shallots, scallions or leeks) in olive oil over medium-high heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add red-pepper flakes, salt and garlic cloves. Throw in the rosemary sprig, if using. Add anchovy fillets, if using. Cook for another 2 minutes, until the garlic is slightly golden and very fragrant.
• Add the white beans and the wine. Let it simmer until the liquid evaporates and the beans are soft, about 5 minutes, then mash the beans with a potato masher or a fork. Make them as smooth or lumpy as you like. You just want to release some of their starch. Turn off the heat.
• Now, add the milk and the tuna. If you have the oil-packed kind, add the oil. If you have the water-packed kind, drain them, and drizzle in more olive oil.
• Mash the tuna into the beans, leaving it a little chunky. Mix in the herbs, lemon zest and add lots of black pepper. Finally, mix in 2 to 4 tablespoons of any kind of grated cheese. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet, and top it with potato chips. Scatter on more grated cheese, about another 2 tablespoons, and dot the top with little nuggets of butter.
• Bake until the tuna mixture bubbles around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. If you want the potato chips to get more brown, you could run the whole pan under the broiler. Finish with lemon juice.

ONE-PAN CREAMY TUNA PASTA

Steps:

• Combine butter, pasta, broth, 2 cups water, and shallots in a large straight-sided skillet or stockpot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until very al dente, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in asparagus; cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add arugula, Parmesan, and lemon zest; stir to combine. Fold in tuna and lemon juice. Serve immediately, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with more pepper and Parmesan.
