My husband doesn't like tuna, so I substituted canned chicken here with great success. A previous poster noted that the onions didn't thoroughly cook and I can confirm that. If crunchy onions might bother you, consider sauteeing them before adding.

I'm not a big fan of tuna casseroles, but this one is very good. My husband liked it a lot. Since he doesn't like dill, I only used a pinch.

This is a good creamy casserole. The only change I would make next time, would be to sautee the onions slightly before adding them to the dish. They did not cook and were basically raw.

I have always added 3 boiled eggs cup up in my tuna casserole , so I added that, but this was a great recipe, everyone loved it.

Very good and easy. I used fresh mushrooms and fresh sweet red pepper. It would be easy to halve this also. The horseradish really makes this recipe!

After coming home from work this was super-easy to put together and through in the oven. First time making a tuna caserole in years, and as a tuna caserole skeptic, I was pleaseantly surprised. Very nice flavor, and easy to make over for a lower calorie low cholesterol version. Will experiment to make a little more creamy, but very good and comforting. I will make this again!
