Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Chicken? Not Here - Chicken-Tuna Bake


Not a whole lot to say about a tuna casserole. The green peppers and pimento added a nice flavor to this one. I cut this recipe in half and still had enough for two meals. Although, I doubt there would have been 10 servings.

CHICKEN-TUNA BAKE
1 7-oz. pkg. elbow spaghetti (cut)
1 onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped fine
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cans tuna flaked (geisha), not in oil - white
1/2 cup chopped pimento (in sauce)
6 tbsp. butter
1/4 cup flour
2½ cups milk
Cook spaghetti. Cook onion and pepper in butter (in sauce). Blend in flour. Add milk - cook on low heat - stir constantly until thick. Add soup, pimento and tuna. Crumble potato chips, buttered crumbs or slivered almonds on top. May have to add undiluted chicken soup. Serves about 20.
