Tuna Casserole

TUNA CASSEROLE

this will make enough for 4 servings:

preheat oven to 350.

peel and cut 2 potatoes into half inch chunks
the same with 4 stalks celery and 2 carrots
dice one medium onion

Put them into kettle and just enough water to cover them. salt if you wish. Cook til carrots are just tender. Remove from heat.
Stir in 2 small cans tuna that has been drained.
Also stir in one tablespoon each chives, parsley, and cilantro

Line a 9 x 9 baking dish with foil and spray it with pam (cleanup is easier)
Pour the potato blend into the baking dish.
Top with 9 canned biscuits and spray the biscuits with pam or brush with melted butter.
Bake in 350 F oven about 45 minutes. Or until the biscuits are nicely browned.

Serve with a nice colorful tossed dark green leafy salad.
