tuna casserole + salad

Dinner came from some random homemaking site I found back on some random date in the past: Creative Homemaking. It's called Tuna Supper Casserole and to be honest, it's on the skimpy side, but I double it and add a couple cups of elbow noodles and it's decent. If you tack on a salad, the whole meal is pretty filling.

I like this recipe because it has a lemony sauce, a little different from your normal tuna casserole and it has spinach to punch up the nutritional content. Not only that but you just chunk the tuna up and scatter it about, it's not incorporated into the sauce infusing the whole dish with tuna-ness. I'd definitely spend the extra $.50 and buy white tuna, not that mushy light stuff.  Now don't get me wrong, albacore doesn't turn this into a four-star recipe, but it's such a better quality for just a few more cents, it's worth it. Overall this meal is cheap and easy and tasty in a frugal-grandma-loves-you sort of way.
