Simple Potato Tuna Dish

The other night I was trying to figure out simple dish I can make for dinner.

I didn’t have any meat in the fridge and I didn’t want to make another pasta dish.

My children love tuna and there is always few tuna cans in my pantry. I decided to experiment with easy tuna dish. I heard of simple dish called Tuna Casserole, but I never made it.

I wanted my tuna dish to be quick, easy and simple dish. I didn’t want to make it with noodles. That’s been done. Instead I chose potatoes for my tuna bake.

Potato Tuna Bake. Sounds great, but what’s next. It’s true I was going for simple dish, but I needed something more to make my tuna dish edible and tasty.

That something more that made this Potato Tuna Bake a winner was sour cream, heavy cream, red peppers and Gruyere cheese.
