“This tuna melt casserole is an updated spin on tuna noodle, a baked version of the classic hot sandwich,” says Allrecipes recipe tester and developer Juliana Hale. “If you like it spicy, use jalapeños instead of the capers.”
Best Zucchini Casserole

“This is a creative, unusual casserole that’s one of my grandmother’s favorites,” says Allrecipes member Maria. “It combines zucchini and bell pepper with Cheddar cheese, spices, and crispy cornflakes. Bread crumbs can be used in place of cornflakes.”
