Creamy Tuna and Shells Casserole


This was SOOOO good, I'm not a huge Tuna fan, and I've tried Tuna Casseroles before and never liked any of them. Also the mayonnaise kind of threw me off and I almost didn't add
it at the end because of how moist the recipe was, But I threw it in anyway and it was delicious in there!!! Everyone here loved it!

it would have to be REALLY good for me to like tuna in something too, so considering you have tried other things and didn't like it. I may have to just give this one a try!!!
