1970s recipe taken from a box of Rice Crispies cereal. I was a fairly new cook back then and I always made some kind of casserole when my in-laws came to visit. They said they especially liked this crunchy tuna recipe!! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter |
1 1/2 cups rice krispies |
1/4 cup slivered almonds |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup |
1/4 cup milk |
1 cup shredded swiss cheese or 1 cup american cheese |
1 1/2 cups cooked rice |
2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, well-drained and flaked |
1/4 cup sliced green olives |
paprika |
Directions:
1. Melt 1 tablespoon of margarine. Pour over cereal and almonds, coating well. Set aside for topping.
2. In large saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of margarine. Add onion. Cook just until tender, stirring occasionally. Add soup, milk and cheese. Cook over medium heat until cheese is melted, stirring occasionally, Remove from heat. Lightly stir in rice, tuna and olives.
3. Spread tuna mixture evenly in greased 10x6-l/2x2 (1-1/2 quart) baking dish. Spoon cereal topping evenly over casserole. Sprinkle paprika over topping.
4. Bake in 325 degree oven about 20 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
