Although I'm a chef, I make the Tuna Helper Alfredo at home sometimes since it saves a lot of steps and I cook enough at work!. I cook it on the range, then add in half a frozen bag of peas into it and put it into a casserole dish!. I top it with about 1/3 box of Triscuits that have been crushed!. They are kind of like baked Panko flakes!. I don't bake it at all!. I use the pouch type tuna since it doesn't have to be drained!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
