Tuna Casserole

[Juliebove]

I had been making tuna casserole that daughter liked but I hated. Since we can't have dairy, I couldn't use cream of mushroom soup. I know Campbell's isn't gluten-free but I read that some other brand is. Anyway... I was sort of making my own using a combination of fresh and dried mushrooms, onions, rice milk and olive oil. I just didn't like the taste.

I just found Imagine brand vegetarian mushroom gravy. It comes in a box. I decided to use it for the casserole.

I used a lot of Costco brand Albacore tuna. Added in a small amount of quinoa macaroni that had been cooked to al dente. Then the gravy, some Just Onions (freeze dried onions), parsley, a little salt and a lot of freshly ground black pepper. Heated it through in a covered casserole.

I could not tell that it was not made with cream of mushroom soup except that it didn't have those icky grey bits of rubbery mushroom that the soup has. It was very good and we all liked it. Must get some more of that gravy!
