Description

This tuna and rice casserole might look soupy going in the oven, but the dry rice will absorb all the extra liquid during the 90-minute bake, yielding flavorful and creamy results.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 1/2 cups milk
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
1 1/4 cups uncooked rice
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup diced onion
1/3 cup diced bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
2 Combine milk, both soups, tuna, rice, celery, onion, bell pepper, garlic, oregano, parsley, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl and mix until well incorporated. Pour into the prepared dish and cover with aluminum foil.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until rice is tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving, about 10 minutes.
