CRUNCHY TUNA PIE CASSEROLE
My favorite tuna pie casserole by far!! This was my mother-in-law, Kay Eloff’s recipe, which I modified. It is
great warm served with stir-fried cauli rice, and even lovely eaten cold. The chilled pie has a substantial, firm
crust. If you would like, the pie crust
can be omitted. Actually, my mother-in-law used only 2 cans of tuna, so if you like, you can do that too.
Crust:
11/2 cups Gluten-Free Bake Mix2, OR (375 mL)
Keto Bake Mix, OR almond flour
Keto Bake Mix, OR almond flour
