Tuna casserole, or tuna noodle casserole as it was called in my household growing up, brings up so many nostalgic memories. Whether it was after a long day at school, sports game, or birthday party, tuna casserole was a frequent feature in my family’s dinner rotation.\n<\/p>\n
And while I still love the dish as an adult, I crave an upgraded version that offers more than just savory creaminess. Over the years, I\u2019ve experimented with my recipe to achieve this. In the process, I discovered my one non-negotiable ingredient: jarred pepperoncini<\/strong>!\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jarred pepperoncini cut through all that tuna casserole creaminess with a crave-able spice and acidity. The slightly crunchy texture of the peppers is another welcome addition to the dish. Plus, a jar is almost always sitting in my fridge! I simply slice a handful and add them to the casserole mix before baking.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n I make a few different variations of my pepperoncini tuna casserole, too. In my Greek spin on the classic, I mix in pepperoncini, chopped Kalamata olives, red onions, tomatoes, parsley, and feta. Other times, I\u2019ll make a pickle-heavy tuna casserole with diced dill pickles, pickled red onions, giardiniera, pepperoncini, and fresh chopped dill. An antipasto-inspired take is also fabulous, featuring pepperoncini, Castelvetrano olives, chopped canned artichokes, cubes of sharp cheddar, and ribbons of prosciutto.\n<\/p>\n Simply Recipes \/ Ciara Kehoe<\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n If adding pepperoncinis to your tuna casserole sounds right up your alley, here are a few tips to make sure your first try is nothing short of *chef\u2019s kiss*:\n<\/p>\n #Tuna #Casserole #Reach #Ingredient<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tuna casserole, or tuna noodle casserole as it was called in my household growing up, brings up so many nostalgic memories.
