How do you prepare Broccoli Tuna Casserole ?

 #### Broccoli Tuna Casserole Preparation

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to prepare a delicious Broccoli Tuna Casserole:

1. **Preheat the oven**: Depending on the recipe, the oven should be preheated to either 350F or 375F.

2. **Prepare the pasta**: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until it's almost al dente. Just before the pasta is fully cooked, add the chopped broccoli to the pasta and cook for 2 more minutes. You can use any type of pasta you prefer, but egg noodles are a classic choice for this dish.

3. **Prepare the broccoli**: You can use both the stems and florets, or just the florets if you prefer. If you're cooking for picky eaters, you can chop or process the broccoli into very small pieces to make it less noticeable.

4. **Prepare the sauce**: In a separate pan, cook and stir onions until tender. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch, milk, and seasonings until smooth; stir this mixture into the pan. Stir in broth and bring to a boil; cook and stir until the mixture thickens. Stir in 3/4 cup cheese until melted.

5. **Add the tuna**: Stir in the tuna into the sauce. You can use canned tuna packed in water.

6. **Combine the ingredients**: Stir the broccoli and tuna mixture into the cooked pasta. Spoon this mixture over the noodles and mix well.

7. **Prepare the topping**: Toss bread crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole. You can also add almonds for a more flavorful topping. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

8. **Bake the casserole**: Cover the casserole and bake for about 45 minutes. If you prefer a crispier topping, you can remove the cover for the last few minutes of baking.

Enjoy your Broccoli Tuna Casserole! It's a comforting, creamy, and hearty dish that's perfect for any meal.
