Gramma's Rice Tuna Casserole

Ingredients

• 2 (120 g) cans tuna, drained

• 2 cups rice, uncooked
• 2 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1/2 (28 ounce) can plum tomatoes
• 1 medium onion, chopped

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare rice according to package, preheat oven to 375°F.

2. 2

   Place tuna and onions in large mixing bowl. Squish plum tomatoes in your hand to yield smaller pieces of them. Once done, mix tuna, onions and tomatoes together.

3. 3

   Ten minutes or so before rice is done cooking, place milk in a medium saucepan, add pepper and cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Add in butter and turn a burner on to med-hi.

4. 4

   Continue whisking, or the milk will burn. Once the milk mix gets hot enough to start boiling, it will thicken, turn off burner, and whisk for another 30 seconds.

5. 5

   Add milk mixture to the tuna mixture. Stir mix until everything is well incorporated.

6. 6

   Add rice to tuna mixture. After everything is well incorporated, pour mix into a 9x13" casserole dish. Place in oven and bake for about 35 minutes. If you want a crispier top, raise temperature to 400°F.

7. 7

   Take out of oven and enjoy!
