Packed with protein and flavor this hot tuna salad is a twist on the traditional sandwich favorite.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 1/2 oz tuna in oil drained
  • 1 Cup celery diced
  • 1/4 Cup onion diced
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 can peas approx. 7.5 oz
  • 3 hard boiled eggs sliced
  • 16 saltine crackers crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425˚ F.
  • Combine all ingredients reserving 4 saltine crackers for the topping.  Add to 1.5 quart casserole dish.
  • Top with remaining crushed saltines. Bake at 425˚ F for 25 minutes or until bubbly.  Serve warm.

Notes

Using canned peas provides a nutty flavor that you cannot get with fresh peas.
I used tuna in oil because that is how the recipe was originally written.  You can used canned tuna in water if you prefer. I'm not sure how it will affect the flavor.
