This disjointed adventure of piquancy and that beloved pelagic species.. well, you know the fish kissed by a Star? Packed in life-giving water, it's even better when combined with this recipe. This is my wife's new "Favorite Meal". I guess I've followed this recipe about four times, and concluded that ground Cayenne vice Chipotle works better for us. I've prepared this in the 8"X8" no worries. I'll be republishing the recipe text in a manner better to follow, like sequentially listed steps? Good on the English as a second language Chef who has shared this concoction!
TraviesoThe sauce has a wonderful taste. Mine turned out too heated, not sure if I didn't measure correctly, but I will make this again!
sharonteaVery tasty casserole! Not your typical tuna noodle casserole of old. i made a few changes. i used shallot versus vidalia onion. i omitted the capers and lemon juice and added one tsp. of worchestershire sauce. Great recipe!! i will surely add more chipotle next time!
baklavaglueWe love it! Best tuna dish ever.
danielcertaThis tuna dish rocks! I add a half-tsp cyan pepper powder. I've served this twice in two weeks to rave reviews.
