Electric Lunchbox #82: Tuna Casserole

I love this dish and I had been making it forever. Tuna, creamy sauce, pasta, some vegetables…it’s perfectly easy to make, healthy, using mostly pantry stable ingredients that you probably already have on hand….what’s not to love?

So today, I’m sharing how to make it in the ELB! I figured if I can make it in the ELB, I can have just one bowl to clean after I devour this! Easy to make, easy clean up too! Winner!

Of course, you can use whatever vegetables you want in this dish, only peas, only carrots, no mushrooms…feel free to add or remove as you wish! Make it your own!

*NOTE that this recipe uses regular sized measuring cups, NOT the tiny ELB cup, unless specified.*

1/2 cup condensed cream of mushroom soup

2-3 pieces of white mushrooms, diced

    This looks so good! I’ve ordered an Itaki chef pro electric bento and found you while searching for easy work lunch recipes. I’ll definitely try this one with gluten free pasta and either gluten free canned soup or homemade. Thanks for the nice recipes. Also, are you still using your ELB?

      Thank you for visiting!! I am so tempted to buy the new rectangular bento too!
      I do have some recipes in development but since my actual work is taking up so much of my time I haven’t been able to write up the new recipes just yet! Have a wonderful rest of your day!!
