Tuna casserole is cheesy, creamy, and decadent. In fact, it’s hard to imagine that such a dish could be Lent-appropriate. It’s full of tasty cheese and veggies, and the buttery breadcrumb topping. It certainly isn’t something you should be eating every night. However, it’s high in calcium and potassium and tastes amazing.
