I remember the first time Mother made this casserole, back in 1949. She and I really loved it. So we made it often. Even the leftovers are good. In this version, I have doubled her recipe to feed a larger family.

I grew up with a macaroni-based tuna casserole. My mother-in-law introduced me to this one with rice and I've used it ever since. The Tabasco® sauce and green chile peppers gives it an extra pop of flavor.
