This is a good dish. I added a three cheese blend to my cheese sauce also black pepper. I added a topping of cheese on top at the end then use ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs. My family loved it.

Made this a few weeks ago with salmon instead of tuna and my Husband and I loved it! Making it again tonight. I did make extra cheese sauce so that may have helped. Quick, easy, and yummy. Love it! ( I also used Panko bread crumbs for the topping, and broccoli not peas)

I've made this recipe several times for my husband and I. We love it. I almost never have frozen broccoli, so I just use whatever frozen vegetable mix I have on hand. It always turns out just fine. Also, I always use Ritz crackers for the crumb topping, much tastier. A yummy comfort food.
