Crusty Tuna Casserole
1 x 425g can tuna
2 tablespoons Butter
2 tbsp plain flour
1 x 410g can Low fat evaporated milk
1/3 cup milk
1 cup grated tasty cheese
Juice medium lemon or 3 tbsp Juice
Salt & pepper
1 1/2 cups rice

I cook my rice in 3 cups water in the microwave
Melt butter in saucepan (large one) and add flour and stir till combined, slowly add can milk and fresh milk and stir till smooth and then thickens.
Continue to stir till thick then add Cheese and Lemon juice mixing well. Add DRAINED can of tuna and mix well. (you can add some chopped parsley as well).
in a greased ovenproof dish,put the rice, spread evenly, (you can add some slices of tomato next if you choose) then spread tuna mix. I then sprinkle some dried breadcrumbs on and bake in oven at 180C for approx 30-40 mins. (it sort of goes a little golden on top).

This is No 2 sons favourite food and freezes well, so i often make and put the overs (if any) into freezer containers.
When I make this for son I actually add 2 cans of tuna.
