You guys I made myself an individual Jalapeño Cheddar Tuna Casserole 🥺 It’s so cute!!!

I have been wanting to make Chrissy Teigen’s version of this recipe for a while, but I just have a hard time getting behind the cream of mushroom soup situation. I defintely eat my fair share of unhealthy foods don’t get me wrong, but for some reason I can’t do the canned mushroom gel these people are calling soup.

I created this healthy, creamy mushroom base last Thanksgiving to healthify the traditional green bean casserole and it has come in handy once again. You’ll love this spicy, cleaned up spin of the classic tuna casserole!
