Patrice's Notes:

I found this JAP orphan. It is summer-like in contrast to my soup based tuna casserole. The slices of zucchini and celery lighten it up! We liked it a lot and I would make it again, especially during the summer.

 

Directions

1
Drain and flake the tuna.
2
Set aside.
3
Cook noodles according to package directions.
4
Drain and rinse in hot water.
5
Combine noodles with the tuna, celery and green onions.
6
Blend in the sour cream, mustard, mayonnaise, thyme and salt.
7
Spoon half the mixture into a buttered 2 quart casserole.
8
Top with half the zucchini.
9
Repeat layers.
10
Top with cheese. (I used colby/jack)
11
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
12
Sprinkle with the chopped tomato, optional.

I finally got around to trying this recipe I found as an JAP orphan.
We found it to be lighter, more summery, than my old standby tuna casserole that uses a can of mushroom soup as the base.

Have you tried it Maria? I'm making it tonight with our last zucchini I rescued from the snow the other day!

The snow? oh wow... I've not been eating so much the last week. Believe it or not, I've been still sick. I think today I'm just starting to feel better. I'm getting my appetite back. This is on my list. Been wanting to try it.

yes it snowed here on Friday I think. I covered the one zucchini left that night as it was forcasted to be cold. Guess it stopped growing, but didn't get harmed.
Hope you feel better soon!

This looks more like a tuna salad than a casserole. =)
