Tuna Fish Casserole Recipe
This Tuna Fish Casserole recipe combines your favorite vegetables with tuna in a white cheddar cheese sauce. My favorite vegetable mix for this recipe is sliced cherry tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Change it up with classic mixed vegetables- corn, carrots, peas, and green beans.

It's best to dehydrate solid white Albacore Tuna packed in water. If you dehydrate dark tuna or tuna packed in oil, fat remains in the food and may cause premature spoilage. Click here for more information about dehydrating tuna.
I use cheese powder from a box of Back to Nature brand Spirals & White Cheddar and NIDO brand whole milk powder for this recipe. For best results, cook the macaroni, tuna, and vegetables in water first, and stir in the cheese and milk powders as soon as you remove the pot from the stove.
Ingredients:
- ¼ Cup dried tuna fish
- ¼ Cup dried vegetables- try tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms
