  • 1 cup low fat milk
  • 1 can (6 ounces) solid-pack tuna, drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (more if you like it real cheesy!)

1.In a large skillet or pan, heat broth and water to boiling.

3.Stir in soup, milk, tuna and cheese. Heat through.


Helpful Hints:

If this recipe makes more than your family can eat at one meal, it reheats well in the microwave. Use a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely with a paper towel, reheat on medium power, stir and rotate the dish midway through cooking. This recipe is perfect for planned-leftovers.

Safety Tip:

Reheat leftovers thoroughly to at least 165 degrees. Insert a clean thermometer into the center of the casserole to make sure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. This is important to keep family members from getting sick from a food-borne illness.
