Tuna Crunch Casserole

Hello ladies!!

This no carb evening challenge has been wicked hard for me, especially when I planned my dinners for the week. For anyone needing ideas for no-carb dinners, here's a recipe that my mom made for us growing up and it's still one of my favorites. Only had to adapt slightly for this challenge.

Tuna Crunch Casserole

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup milk
2 hard boiled eggs (I always do 3 cuz I love them eggs)
1 can tuna
1 cup cooked peas (I throw them in frozen--it's easier and they cook just fine in the oven)
1/2 cup chow mein noodles, French fried onions, or corn flakes---omitted for this challenge and substituted shredded cheese)

In a 1-qt casserole dish, blend soup and milk. Stir in tuna, eggs, and peas. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Top with the cheese (or chow mein noodles, fried onions, or corn flakes if not worried about carbs) and bake 5 more minutes.

Makes about 3 servings
345 calories per serving
Double for a larger family

I usually will serve over egg noodles because my husband prefers it that way (he's not a pea or hard boiled egg fan so getting him to eat this recipe at all is an achievement) but I like it just fine without. Better for you that way!

Hope everyone is doing well and working hard this last week!
