Thanks for sharing – I’ll substitute some salmon instead of the tuna, and I’m sure it will be great.

I don’t like tuna myself, but hubby would appreciate me making this. I’m sure the cats would enjoy the leftovers too!

Love tuna bakes but will have to omit beans. Thinking the one who hates tin fish can fend for himself at 30 he can.

  I always use strong cheddar in my recipes – just gives recipes the kick and flavour they need.
