A quick, nutritious and economical tuna casserole. I lowered the fat and calorie content by using low fat milk, low fat cream of celery soup and margarine.

This casserole was very delicious and my family really loved it. I also added frozen peas to it. I also e-mailed this recipe to family and friends of ours and they said they will be making it also. Thank you very much for the great recipe.
