Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Evie's Tuna Casserole

This is Evie's recipe, one of her favourite comfort foods. It is simple to prepare, and wonderful for cheese lovers as it is very cheesy.

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 tin condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 tins chunk tuna packed in water, drained
3 cups shredded old cheddar cheese
1 spanish onion
3 gloves garlic
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon basil flakes
1 teaspoon butter or margarine
fresh ground pepper to taste

Cook, drain and rinse macaroni. Finely chop onion and garlic and sautee in butter until tender. Mix together soup, tuna, cheese (reserve 1/2 cup of cheese for topping), milk, basil and pepper. Fold in macaroni, onions and garlic. Place mixture in a casserole dish. Add reserved cheese as topping. Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

This sounds really good! I'll have to try making this with the cheese. I saute the onion first, too, when I'm not in a rush; it makes a huge difference.

It is really good if you love cheese. It's much like homemade macaroni and cheese with tuna and extra spices. The garlic and basil really make a difference too!

Actually this recipe was originally from my Foods class in secondary school, but I've altered it over the years... added way more cheese (before there was only cheese on top), added more tuna, and added the basil, onions and garlic. Ditched the peas... blech haha.

I think my problem for what to make for dinner tonight is solved - I'm making this. My husband got tired of tuna casserole awhile back, but I think he'll like it with the cheese. But I'm adding the peas back in, cause I like them, haha. It sounds like we're all cheese lovers:) Have fun with the chicken pepper dish tonight!

Oh, I've kept forgetting to say here that I made this the other night and we both loved it! I didn't have quite enough shredded cheddar that your recipe called for, Evie, but it was still really good. I added some frozen peas and corn, then at the last 15 minutes, some bread crumbs on top.

No it is not an elbow of a seal or any other marine creature! :wink: It is called elbow for its shape, the pieces are bent and look like little elbows I suppose. Elbow macaroni is the name for the standard macaroni sold here in North America.

Here is a link to a picture:
