Dene's tuna mornay

My recipe is out the Womens Weekly basic cookbook, and I adjust it as
needed:

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons plain flour
1 large onion finely chopped
3 or 4 rashers of shortcut bacon, chopped
3 cups milk or part milk and part cream
corn kernels (frozen or tinned)
half a cup tasty cheese OR ricotta
1 tin tuna in springwater or brine
breadcrumbs
tasty cheese extra

melt the butter, add onion and bacon, cook until onion is transparent
add flour, cook for 1-2 minutes
remove from heat, add milk, whisking constantly, return to heat and bring to
boil
remove from heat again, add cheese, corn and tuna
place in oven proof casserole dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese,
bake until top browns

serve with rice or pasta

optionally, cook pasta whilst you're making the mornay, mix it all together
in big casserole dish, sprinkle with cheese (no breadcrumbs this time) and
bake in oven til browned. (Homemade pasta bake, very yummy!!)

Brenda's tuna

I don't have a recipe as such, but when I make a sort of tuna casserole thing I make a good quantity of cheese sauce (or omit the cheese for just plain white sauce) and stir through a big can of tuna in brine or springwater, a smallish can of creamed corn and a can of sliced mushrooms and a couple of cups of cooked rice. Use whatever seasonings you prefer (dried tarragon and lemon pepper are nice) to give it some extra flavour.

Put the lot in a deep casserole dish, sprinkle with brated cheese and breadcrumbs, dot with butter and bake until brown on top and heated through.

I only make this when there's virtually no fresh food left in the house! It's all cans and jars!

Philipa's tuna

I make a basic white sauce with cheese. I often fry onion and garlic in the
melted butter first. I add drained tuna, cooked carrots, celery, frozen
peas... capsicum... whatever vegies I have available. I cook pasta or rice
and stir it through , whack it into a casserole dish and stick it under the
grill. Oh ... sprinkle with cheese. Sometimes I have been known to mix
cheese with bread crumbs, crushed crackers and or crushed chips (sorry ...
crisps for you south aussies).

Sorry ... not really specific but I don't follow a recipes. It depends on
what we have available. I make the white sauce without a recipe too...
sometimes that is a bit hit and miss.

Marika's quick and easy Tuna Mornay

can of tuna in brine or springwater (drained)
can of chicken soup (or chicken & corn, or anything else that appeals,
asparagus is nice)
cup of grated cheese
cooked pasta (the amount depends on how many people you are making it for)
and you can also add some other veggies if you want to

Mix it all together, sprinkle some extra grated cheese over the top and bake
for about half an hour.
