Tuna Casserole

By -
I wanted to make a tuna casserole with so much flavour, I wouldn't miss the cheese I wasn't going to put in it! I thought Italian inspired, but still with the comfort food flavour of mushroom soup. It was so good, I'll write out the approximate recipe....

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 red onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2/3 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped (if using ones in oil, pat them dry with paper towels)
4 artichokes, from can (not in oil) - chopped
1/2 can white kidney beans (yes)
1/4 tsp "Old Bay" seasoning (or something like bon appetit)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp parsley
salt and pepper
1 can chunk tuna
2 tbsp mayo
1 can mushroom soup
macaroni

First, saute the onions in oil. Add celery, cook until soft. Add sundried tomatoes, artichokes, beans, seasonings, salt and pepper, tuna. That's what you see in the first picture.

Stir the mayo and mushroom soup together in a bowl. Stir it into the tuna mixture. Stir in the macaroni. Put into a casserole dish, and heat through in the oven, approximately 20 minutes.

    Really? I want to try this. You are amazing in kitchen disasters, like power outages . No stove, no panic, no problem. Cool.

    No cheese = another kitchen disaster that Janice overcame.

Add yeast mixture and remaining 1 1/2 cups warm water and stir until smooth, then stir in 1 cup more flour. If dough sticks to your fingers, stir in just enough flour (up to 3/4 cup), a little at a time, to make dough just come away from side of bowl. (This dough may be wetter than other pizza doughs you have made.) Knead dough on a lightly floured surface with floured hands, lightly reflouring work surface and your hands when dough becomes too sticky, until dough is smooth, soft, and elastic, about 10 minutes.
