Tuna Shepherd's Pie Ingredients
| 2 cups (500 mL) | frozen mixed vegetables |
| 1 cup (250 mL) | frozen shelled edamame or peas |
| 2 | cloves garlic, minced |
| 1 | small onion, grated |
| 1 can (284 mL) | Condensed Tomato Soup (25 % Less Salt) |
| 2 cans (170 g each) | Clover Leaf Flaked Light Tuna in Water, drained |
| 2 cups (500 mL) | prepared mashed potatoes |
| 1 tbsp (15 mL) | non-hydrogenated margarine melted |
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) . Place vegetable blend, edamame, garlic, onion and 1/4 cup (50 mL) water in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are softened. Add condensed soup and tuna; bring to a boil.
- Transfer tuna mixture to an 8-inch (2 L) square baking dish. Dollop mashed potatoes over the tuna and spread evenly; brush with margarine. Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Makes 4 servings.
- Tips:
- For a nicely browned top, broil the casserole for about 5 minutes before removing from the oven.
- Pre-warming the potatoes (if cold) in the microwave while the vegetables are steaming so that they are easier to spread.
- Add hot sauce or a splash of red wine to the tuna mixture to taste for a more adult flavour profile.
