A delightful casserole combining tuna, vegetables, and rice in a creamy sauce, topped with a crispy cheese crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, drained tuna, peas, mayonnaise, and black pepper.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Distribute the cheese evenly for a consistent crust.
Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.
For extra crunch, lightly toast the breadcrumbs before adding.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check the casserole at 25 minutes to avoid over-browning.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the casserole to set, making it easier to serve.
