Made this for the hubby and he reported back that this is the best tuna casserole he's ever had...he loved the creaminess of the dish and the flavors...he went back for seconds...and there's plenty of leftovers for him...I used home canned albacore tuna...made for "Bill Board" tag game...

My whole family loved this casserole, I did make a change and used cooked chicken in place of tuna, I've done that before with success next time I will use tuna, I also used small shell pasta instead of macaroni because that's what I had, the adddition of salsa really jazzes it up, I have this now added to my Recipebook favorites and I will make it again for sure many more times, so thanks dieniab for the recipe.
