Tuna and Peas

  4.1 – 7 reviews  • Tuna

An excellent replacement for those rich, buttery cinnamon roll recipes. You’ll be amazed by this one. Just keep in mind that the dough may be a little sticky before the first rising, but skipping the addition of any additional flour at this stage ensures a fluffy masterpiece.

Ingredients

  1. ¼ cup butter
  2. ½ cup frozen peas
  3. 1 small onion, chopped
  4. 1 clove garlic, minced
  5. 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  6. ½ cup milk, or as needed
  7. 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
  8. salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute peas, onion, and garlic in hot butter until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Pour mushroom soup over the peas mixture; add enough milk to the mixture to thicken the soup to the point of there being no lumps. Flake tuna and add to the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mixture is warm and bubbly, about 10 minutes.

I’ll be honest, I’ve been making versions of this recipe for over 50 years! That’s the beauty – it lends itself to a variety of tweeks. My favorite is to use elbows, add sliced mushrooms, throw it all into a casserole top with grated cheddar and bake at 350 for a half hour. Yum!

Just like how my mom used to make. I didn’t change anything except for adding some chopped mushrooms and diced carrot. Easy recipe to throw together if your on a budget.

I followed all the instructions except replace the onion with garlic and onion powder, I added mixed vegetables instead of peas, and I added some old bay to bring out the fish flavor. My hubby loved it and he doesn’t like fish! I will definitely make this again!

My family loved this recipe! I served it over noodles. It was perfect because I could easily have everything on hand and everyone enjoyed it.

Added some freshly-chopped carrots to give this a little color, otherwise, followed the recipe instructions. Yes, it certainly was easy to put together. I’ve never been crazy about canned tuna, but my husband likes it, and we both enjoyed this meal. Served over puff pastry shells.
