A LONG time ago I had made a Tuna and Rice casserole, I used the recipe out of a very old Better Homes cook book. IDK what had happened to the cookbook, but it was the best thing I had ever tasted and I cant remember the whole recipe but I do remember some of its ingredients. I really only want the recipe out of a better homes cook book. So if you have one of these cook books, flip open to casseroles and 'if' it is there PLEASE share. I have looked everywhere for this recipe and I cant find it anywhere.
* 1 small onion, chopped * 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil * 2/3 cup water * 3 tablespoons Homemade Cream-Style Soup Mix (recipe also in Recipe Finder) * 3/4 cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed * 1 can (6 ounces) tuna, drained and flaked * 1/2 cup milk * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 1/8 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning * 1-1/2 cups cooked rice * 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted Directions * In a small skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. In a microwave-safe dish, whisk together water and soup mix. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, whisking occasionally. Add soup to sauteed onions. Stir in the broccoli, tuna, milk, salt and lemon-pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Stir in rice. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes longer or until heated through. Sprinkle with almonds. Yield: 2 servings. Tuna and Rice Casserole published in Cooking for One or Two Cookbook
I don't know how old....a very old Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book is to you....but... I have a BHG cookbook from 1972. I looked under casseroles, per your request, and the only thing I could find with tuna and rice was a recipe for Rice and Tuna Pie. I also have a BHG cookbook from 1941 but it had nothing with tuna and rice. This is the recipe which was in the 1972 book: Rice and Tuna Pie 2 cups rice, cooked 1 tablespoon onions, diced fine 2 tablespoons butter 1 eggs, slightly beaten 1/4 teaspoon marjoram, dried 1 9-1/4 ounces canned tuna, drained 1 cup swiss cheese, shredded 3 eggs, beaten 1 cup milk 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram 1 tablespoon onions, diced fine salt and pepper pimientos Beat together eggs, onion, butter and marjoram add to rice and mix well. Press onto bottom and sides of lightly buttered 10 inch pie plate. Spread tuna evenly over rice shell. Combine remaining ingredients, cheese, eggs, milk, marjoram, onion, salt and pepper, pour over tuna. Bake 350 degree oven for 50-55 minutes. Garnish with pimentos if desired.
