Easy Tuna Dish
Pantry dinners have a special place in family cookbooks, and Jeannie Taylor’s Easy Tuna Dish is exactly that kind of practical recipe. Contributed to the Tully Family Cookbook, it brings together tuna, corn, chicken soup, peas, mushrooms and chopped almonds before being topped with crumbled potato chips and heated in the oven. It is simple, economical and very much of its era, with a creamy tuna bake feel and a crunchy savoury topping. Served with salad or steamed vegetables, it becomes an easy family dinner for busy nights.

Kitchen Notes
- The original recipe does not provide quantities, so the modern version keeps the ingredients flexible rather than inventing exact measurements. Condensed chicken soup is the most likely modern equivalent for “chicken soup” in this style of family bake.
- Contains fish and tree nuts. May contain dairy, wheat or gluten depending on the chicken soup and potato chips used.
