Hey guys, it’s summer so cooking for me gets kind of hard. Why? because a lot of things just sound to heavy. So to still eat something warm out of the oven and not have to live off of cold sandwiches or salads (which are great btw). I decided to try my hand at my own thrown together Tuna Casserole Bake. Man’ did it turn out, was it a hit, and good too? Yes! Yes! Yes!
