The day approaches, and both busy-ness and thankfulness abound. Marietta D. has our first request – a make-ahead breakfast casserole. Next came the once-published World’s Best Chocolate Cake. And here are related recipes that would make life easier for holiday hosts of house guests: make-ahead, freeze-ahead main dish casseroles.
Lois Whitehead added some details about that world’s-best cake, which came from a Fare Exchange years ago. “I made it at that time for family, and all agreed it was just the best. I still get requests for the cake.”
Mrs. Nicholas Aspen, a seasoned cook, sent two easy and tempting recipes. Of her first recipe she wrote, “This is a great alternative to tuna casserole and to regular tuna salad. It is supposed to be for kids but this adult has to have it every once in a while. These were called tuna burgers in an old Betty Crocker Kids Cookbook.”
Easier Than Tuna Casserole
No need for precise measurement. Take anywhere from a half to a whole can of drained tuna, some chopped celery, a slice or so chopped onion and a slice of either processed American cheese or Cheddar cheese; mix together and perhaps had a tiny bit mayo. Salt and pepper to taste. Butter or put mayo on both sides of a hamburger or hot dog bun, whatever you have left over. Slather with tuna mixture, wrap each bun in foil and put in 375 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
