I had forgotten all the times my mother had made Tuna Casserole. There were 6 in our family, 4 hungry boys, mom and dad. Mom was an expert at making money stretch tight enough that Washington could have crossed the Delaware on a single dollar. I called my mother, who turned 95 this year and told her about this video. I remember tuna casserole very foundly, Mom always mad plenty of it. She used saltine crackers because she could get them in bulk and 4 cans because she had to stretch the meat. But I always think of it fondly. Ironically, she told me by the time I was seventeen, all of us would go "Oh no, not again." But there was never leftovers and I still remember my mother making tuna casserole. I won't be able to get down to see my mother before New Years Eve, but we decided that dinner that night will be me cooking Tuna Casserole for the two of us. Thanks for jogging my memory and stirring up old emotions. God bless you and your crew for this video and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Mom, Dad and 5 brothers. Every night around the table. Mom would use Lays Potato Chips. 87 in October.

[@johnmcdonald2201]

@@gmans7859 I asked Mom about potato chips. She says that she did make them that way also...occasionally. Dad liked it with Saltine Crackers, so Saltines it was.

What a sweet memory. 🥰🥰

Try visiting her in person instead of just calling.

[@johnmcdonald2201]

@@crystalhaiku Just an update: I moved into my Mom's house in December. She told us, at 96 years old, that she was tired and I had the ability to come down and take care of her. She passed on July 2nd, quickly and quietly. Crystalhaiku, you were right. This was the best 7 months of my life.

I loved your comment about the green peas. That is the great thing about a casserole you can make it the way you want it.

God bless the individuals who get to enjoy this. You are so wholesome and just overall good people. The world needs more individuals like you.

[@laurapaquette4485]

Have watched many of your videos. This one for some reason was the best. Doggie photos were very relaxing. Love tuna casserole, it no one else I live with doesn’t 😢

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Glad you like them!

[@danbreyfogle8486]

I thought my mother invented tuna casserole. Really I did. Growing up in the 1950's my mother could make any left over into a casserole and her 4 boys would eat every morsel with no complaint. WAIT my youngest brother hated peas but there was peas in everyone of them. But she never wasted 4 cans , I think there was one can, but it was filling and we loved it. Mom is gone, and so is Dad, but the memories of setting at that supper table with a steaming casserole waiting her hungry crew remains and just the scent of it cooking today makes me remember those days. Thank you Kent and Shannon for reminding me of those days....

[@DonaldLeandroII]

Hello Mr. Rollins, I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoy your channel and how my father and I bonded over watching (and talking) about your videos. My father recently passed away, but I still watch your videos. You always reminded me of my father, the way you would dance and be so joyful when it came to your food. Much love from my family to you and yours, all the way from Hawaii! Keep up the great work, Sir.

[@MagicMakerDeb]

Thank you for another great and easy recipe! I can't wait to make this! Thank you too for the sweet words at the end of your videos! I am a Navy veteran. Spent nine years serving our amazing country that we love. God Bless!

[@bradsavory9880]

Thank you for the shout out to the veterans. I cook for veterans at the VA hospital in Ann Arbor Michigan. Love your videos.

Likewise. I do believe this cowboy is my favorite cook. !7 degrees F greeting the New Year last night and that is a little cool for Texas and this Texan. Lt USN (ret)

My wife made a variation of this tonight for dinner, but used chicken instead of tuna. Turned out amazing!!

[@lindaphelps4673]

Wow.. Love tuna casserole. It is so warm and comforting Many thanks to you and yours for all you do and for letting enjoy all the recipes, cast iron cooking, food , puppies and love.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

You are so welcome

[@l33tster]

Watching these videos is always supremely comforting to me, even though I'm far up north here it still hits just as hard haha. Helps that I'm an absolute fiend for tuna Great time to chill, settle yourself and learn something new and delicious. Cowboy Rollins MVP

[@micheleerwin2848]

I love your videos, Kent. I live in a rural part of San Diego. We get snow several times each winter and the Butterfield stagecoach used to run right through the area I live in. We have cattle on the sides of our highway. We have real working cowboys out here that round up the cattle. I love the old west way of life.

Happy Thanksgiving in thanks for the blessing we have received, even though they be few this year full of betrayers & leaving us with a lean harvest table. I give thanks to all my friends who still honor & love America & her citizens in all of their diversity.

OK so far your recipe is the best one on the KZbin and you did it just like me! I agree four cans of tuna what the heck. And the dancing just makes everything funner

I LOVE your vids! Please keep them coming Kent! I get so many great recipes from you.

[@chicagorandy]

Another family fav around my house. It was a great quick meal that anyone CAN make. As in I used Canned cream of mushroom soup, Canned tuna, Can of mushrooms and a Can of peas. Served it on toast I did. I still make it for myself these days, good food and plenty of it without breaking the bank. Not a big 'cheese' fan myself, but the top layer of Ritz sounds tasty. Thanks for sharing.,

[@southerngrandma4353]

That’s Exactly how I make mine, don’t have the energy anymore to make it homemade. I don’t care for cheese in mine either.

[@tritontransport]

@@southerngrandma4353 yeah no cheese needed

[@tritontransport]

Same as yours but I prefer cream of celery although it’s whatever I happen to have. I also will add sautéed diced carrot or bell pepper if I happen to have them around and need to use it up

[@ambercurtis-nb6wr]

Good evening Mr. Rollins. I just love tuna casserole and have tried several versions of it. I remember my dad making it with Condensed mushroom soup, mixed veggies, milk, and of course cheese but topped his with Ruffles potato chips. I just made your version and I have to feed 6. It was soooo delicious and it made plenty even for seconds. My family says to write this one down, it's a keeper. Thank you for sharing.

[@lesleyfitzpatrick1711]

I am a new viewer and just love your recipes! Simple food but delicious. And the dancing is the icing on the cake.

[@joannstewart6462]

I bake mine in a large casserole dish, I use rotini noodles and add peas and mushroom soup I use shredded cheddar cheese and of course town house crackers crumbled on top. Bake for 45 minutes in 400 degrees. It's scrumptious 😋

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Sounds great!

[@donmoor4e974]

Howdy Kent! I just wanted to let you know That all my relatives that don't like cranberries loved the cranberry salad. I love cranberries myself .I only used a 16 os. bag. That recipe would feed a host of cowboys. They only ate a half of a smaller batch. so I'm sharing with my good neighbor and friend tomorrow. I never made homemade whipped cream before. My mom said don't whip it to long or you will make butter. She said that happened to her. Shoot now I know how to make butter. Thanks Ken, Shan And all the puppy dogs.

[@sr7312]

This was a dish that disappeared from my parents' table as mom and dad finally started making plenty of money. Dad never really liked it and had the attitude that we didn't have to eat that anymore. But I WANT to eat it, and it has gone back into the repertoire at my house.

[@wolfman8449]

This was big in my house growing up. Never liked it much as a kid for some reason but like it now

[@bassnazi4713]

Actually taste buds change as you age like all of the body. The desire for sweets can still be there but not as overpowering as when younger. All amazing when it's the body telling you what you need more of and less of.

[@kellyclark7517]

Thanks cowboy Kent n co❤️ I appreciLOVE all that ya’ll do! U make the world a better place🌸🌸🌸 I just finished making a tuna casserole and reflecting on the simple things in life 1❤️

[@gregsilsby6884]

I love tuna casserole! I’ll be trying this over the fire soon. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

[@randyromines7364]

Nothing beats a good ole tuna noodle casserole! I add celery, mushrooms and peas to mine along with the onion and mushroom soup. Instead of crumbs, I top with shredded cheese right before its ready to come out! Great hot from the oven, gets better as leftovers. You can sub canned Salmon or Jack Mackerel for a change of pace, just pick out those bones and skin for the cat!

[@carolynjohnson7308]

Hey dear , how are you doing?

[@tammycampbell112]

Salmon bones are good and full of calcium.

[@deerejohn1681]

Could you do more videos of you, and Shan cooking for ranch crews? If the ranch videos you've already made were on vhs, they'd be worn out, that's how many times we've watched them! Thank you, and keep up the good work!

Making this tonight...it's only 4° today. Gonna make this with Monterey Jack Cheese with Jalapeno for a little extra heat & zing. Thanks for the recipe Kent (and Shannon!).

I make the tuna casserole with a large can of tune drained, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, soup can full of milk, and 1 standard can of peas drained. Stir those together right in the casserole dish, add salt & pepper to taste. Top with crushed potato chips and bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes!
