Tuna Tempter: A Versatile One-Dish Meal

Introduction

Embrace the flavors of simplicity with Tuna Tempter, a delightful one-dish meal that carries a heartwarming legacy from my mother. This cherished recipe was gifted to her by a thoughtful co-worker at the PRC, becoming a staple in our family gatherings.

My husband and granddaughter adore sliced water chestnuts, while the beauty of this dish lies in its versatility: you can easily incorporate peas, broccoli, or cheese to suit your palate. This meal stands alone in its hearty goodness and can be effortlessly prepared in an electric skillet, avoiding the oven during the hot summer months.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large electric skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced celery and onion. Sauté these vegetables until they become crisp-tender, taking care not to let them brown, which should take around 5-7 minutes. This step builds the foundational flavors of your dish.

2. Mix in Extras: If you’re opting not to bake, continue using the skillet. This is the time to add in any extras you’ve chosen, such as mushrooms, water chestnuts, or any other favorite vegetables. Stir them in and allow them to cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

3. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the milk and blend in the cream of mushroom soup, stirring until well combined and heated through. This creamy mixture will serve as the sauce, binding all the flavors together.

4. Add Tuna: Gently fold in the drained tuna and, if using, the pimiento, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. Allow this mixture to simmer for an additional minute, letting the tuna warm up.

5. Cook the Pasta: While your sauce is simmering, cook the shell macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside. If you’re baking the dish, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) at this stage.

6. Combine and Prepare for Baking (if applicable): If you plan to bake the dish, combine the cooked macaroni with the tuna mixture in a 2-quart casserole dish. If you’ve added plenty of extra vegetables, consider using a larger casserole to accommodate everything.

7. Add Toppings and Bake: For a crispy topping, sprinkle the dish with breadcrumbs if you desire, though this is optional based on personal preference. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and bubbling. If you are opting to skip the baking, simply continue cooking in the skillet until everything is heated through and combined.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This comforting meal can be enjoyed as is or paired with a light salad for a complete dining experience.

Conclusion

Tuna Tempter is more than just a meal; it’s a canvas for your culinary creativity, adaptable to your preferences and dietary needs.
