Notes
*I usually buy two 5 ounce cans of tuna for this recipe.
Variations
- I don't find it necessary to add any additional salt to this recipe, but you can season to taste.
- A cup of sliced mushrooms can be added and sautéed with the onions in step 1.
- You may get a burn notice as the contents come to pressure. It has always cooked just fine for me, even when the notice pops up.
- I love crushing potato chips over the top. Sounds weird, but tastes delicious! Bread crumbs would be a good texture to add, too! Pop it into a baking dish and give it a quick broil to get everything light golden brown on top.
- Fresh chopped parley gives an extra boost of fresh flavor and color.
