Tuna is the star of this dish and provides a wealth of health benefits, being a powerhouse of lean protein and Omega-3 fatty acids. The keto mayonnaise and shredded cheese add a layer of creamy indulgence without compromising on the keto diet, while the celery and onions ramp up the nutrition while adding that coveted crunch to the casserole.
If you are not a fan of celery or onions, you can replace them with your favorite Keto-friendly veggies. Just make sure your substitutes don’t alter the carbohydrate content too much.
How To Make Keto Tuna Casserole
- Start with preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing the casserole dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, onions, celery, soup mix, and half of the cheese. Stir them until they blend together nicely.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning, give it another good mix.
- Transfer this mixture into the previously greased casserole dish, spread it evenly.
- Cover it with the remaining cheese and bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese turns golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool a bit before serving, and enjoy!
Tips For The Best Results
- Make sure to drain all the liquid from the tuna cans to prevent a watery casserole.
- Use fresh veggies, they add a nice bit of crunch to the dish.
- Don’t rush the baking; the key to a delicious casserole is to allow the cheese to turn golden and bubbly.
Storage Tips
- This casserole stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, in a sealable container.
