Description

There is comfort food and then there is comfort food that also comforts your conscience. We pull out the typical noodles and butter-cracker topping on this classic, replacing them with shirataki rice and nutritional yeast. So, fill yourself with a large serving of this comfort food that tastes great. 

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a casserole dish, combine mushroom soup, tuna, and mushrooms. Stir well. Add milk. Mix in rice and salt. Add enough milk so the noodles are fairly covered. Top with nutritional yeast. Bake at 350 degrees F / 176 C  for 45 minutes.

Note

This casserole cooks up a little loose and soupy. If desired, add a second can of mushroom soup and simply adjust the calories for a thicker result.

You can also use Shirataki noodles. The rice is simply easier to serve.

You can half the nutritional yeast to reduce calories.

Frozen mushrooms release more liquid, so if you use fresh, you may need to add more milk.
