Tuna and Cottage Cheese
I came across this recipe and decided to post it because I've never seen tuna mixed with cottage cheese in a main dish before.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups cottage cheese
1 can (approx. 7 ounces) tuna, flaked and drained
1/2 cup oats, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper or lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons butter or margarine (I don't really think this is necessary).
PREPARATION:
Combine cottage cheese, tuna, 1/4 cup oats, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, celery, and onion. Blend tuna cheese mixture into the beaten eggs; pour into a greased 1-quart baking dish. Combine remaining oats with 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle over top of casserole. Set in a large pan of hot water and bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until firm.
Tuna casserole recipe serves 4.
