Chris Downie's Very Best Tuna Casserole

Note: I made it just for myself, I have a large appetite and it lasts me a few days so 4 servings is about right in my opinion

Steps

1 hour approx

1

COOK the pasta 30 mins at 230 in a Flat Casserole Dish filled to just above the pasta level with Salted Water (water with table salt allready applied), lid on then leave for 15 minutes, then drain the water away if any, lid crack being left method and tip for drain away. (Ensure pasta is not mush, it will spoil meal if it has no form..I do have quite a strong microwave and mine was fine).
2

SEPERATE bowl mix the Tuna (with Sunflower Oil) and Chicken Soup
3

POUR the mix over the cooked pasta and mix in with a fork. Mix in the baked beans too.
4

APPLY the Cinanmon then SPRINKLE a liberal amount of Coriander across the whole surface of the mix still in the Casserole Dish.
5

Sprinkle breadcrumbs across the whole surface.
6

Put the 125g Grated Cheddar Cheese over the top of the whole mix. Note order of 5 and 6 are probably interchangeable, as to which first.
7

Cook the pasta mix(lid on) for a further 25 minutes at 230. (No water obviously, that was just for initial cook of hard pasta)

Enjoy. I used to cook tuna casserole without the cinammon and coriander leaves but hitting upon this by chance the taste is phenomenal. I honestly dont know how much effect the cinammon has but I love the taste and theres enough cinammon in not to be unnoticed.

[[Note please I couldnt taste the Cinammon at all when i tried it but the taste is perfect, it may have something to do with I think i just sprinkled it on surface at stage mentioned accidentally instead of stir in so have said stir in here as its what probably should have been done but it honestly is a great dish, enjoy please. I will be having this in future as my go to tuna casserole dish and recipe, its just perfect and to my taste.]]
