This creamy cheddar tuna casserole recipe is a delicious one-dish dinner that can be enjoyed right away or frozen for later!

We love tuna around these parts, and the secret to this casserole is using a cheese that you love.

Many different kinds of cheese would work in this casserole, but my favorite is to do half sharp cheddar and half smoked sharp cheddar.

The veggies help to create that all-in-one dish for dinner we all enjoy.

Bon appetit!

My little helper was in charge of grating the cheese.

Not too many chefs out there as cute as this one!

See that fork that slipped in there? The little chef had to taste it first.
