Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute Gruyère, Emmenthal, Swiss, or extra-sharp cheddar cheese for Comté cheese.

    This was a big hit for us and my husband doesn’t really even like the standard tuna noodle casserole. We had broccoli from our local farm market and I always keep wheat berries in the pantry. Other than a block of Parm Reggiano, I refuse to buy outrageously expensive cheeses these days, because it just makes me mad! I used a bag of pre-shredded Sargento Mexican blend. Perfect! This was so delicious— much more so than I expected!

    Replace half the tuna with white beans. Next time I'll omit the tuna completely and just use white beans. Added some chili crisp for added flavor.

    I couldn't find wheat berries at the grocery store, so I used farro instead. I'm giving this 5 stars because Dan loved it, and I ended up offloading most of it onto him. It was just a tad fishy tasting to me, but that was probably the low mercury safe-catch tuna I happened to use. The recipe is great however. I'd try this again with a different brand of canned tuna.

    Yum! I cooked the wheat berries the day before so I could make it after work - good call because they took a long time (but were so chewy and tasty in this). I might up the broccoli quantity next time.

    This was SO delicious. Realized I didn't have wheat berries at the last minute so I used freekah instead, which probably wasn't the best substitute, but that didn't matter because YUM.

    We ate the heck out of this, but with that much cheese, who wouldn't?

    I stuck pretty close to the recipe but upped the garlic a little, used smoked tuna for some extra flavor, skipped the optional Garlic-Chile Crunch and scaled down the amount of cheese. I cooked the wheat berries ahead so it was quick to put together. Not sure I need to make this again but it was a satisfying meal and took me back to the casseroles my mom used to make with a can of "cream of ..." soup!

    This was really good. Made as written and it was perfect.

    I used this recipe as a jumping off point and the results were very good. First, it read bland to me, so I doctored the sauce with 1/2 t ground mustard and 1/4 t each smoked paprika and piment d'espelette. I subbed in medium grind bulgur and 16 oz canned mackerel in olive oil because they needed using and I wanted to boost the protein for my athlete teen. My family was skeptical but this was delicious served with a green salad, full of good fiber and sustainable protein. I’ll definitely make this again.
