A couple more from the casserole section...

Thrifty Tuna Casserole

1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 7 oz can tuna, drained
1 1/4 cups crushed potato chips
1 cup unsalted peas, cooked & drained
Empty soup into a small casserole. Add milk and mix thoroughly. Add tuna, 1 cup potato chips and peas. Stir well. Sprinkle top with remaining potato chips. Bake in moderate oven (375F) 25 minutes. Serves 4.

Hot Seafood Salad

3/4 cup chopped green pepper 3/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup diced celery 1 cup canned or cooked crabmeat, flaked
1/2 to 3/4 tsp salt 1 cup canned or cooked shrimp, cut in pieces
dash of pepper 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup soft breadcrumbs
2 tbsp melted butter
Combine vegetables, crabmeat, salt, pepper, shrimp, Worcestershire sauce and mayonnaise. Put mixture in greased 1 quart casserole or 8 individual shells. Toss crumbs in butter; sprinkle over top. Bake in moderate oven (350F) until hot and crumbs are golden brown, 30 minutes. Serves 6 to 8.

**my take on this...I would add a little parmesan to the bread crumbs sprinkled on top.

NO CHEESE OR NOODLES IN THE TUNA CASSEROLE? UNFORGIVABLE.

yeah i had never heard of tuna casserole with no noodles before.....and it must have cheddar on top! :)

This is classic stuff all right. The salt content in the first dish must be astronomical - not that they worried too much about that in the past.

I've never understood chips in a casserole.

That's how my mom made tuna casserole, with potato chips on top. I don't remember any noodles with it. I loved it when I was a kid.

When the hot seafood salad says 8 individual shells, does that mean pasta
shells? I looks like an interesting recipe, it would likely need some
spices added though... Old Bay and such. :3

I think they mean individual dishes, I have seen dishes shaped like shells but you could use any kind of small oven proof dish.
