Tuna Tater Pie

Mom probably found this recipe to try out during Lent when there would be no meat on Fridays. This recipe is just like a shepherd's pie, but with tuna. And it is delicious. I was worried that MDS might not like this pie because he can be skeptical of casseroles, but he liked this recipe and even ate leftovers. 

This recipe works well with leftover mashed potatoes, or you could take a shortcut and use instant mashed potatoes. The final step of broiling the dish so that the potatoes brown is very important for the dish. When I made this recipe, I used a standard pie dish. Individual serving size dishes could be used instead.

Tuna Tater Pie

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp. grated onion
• 2 tsp. lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. mustard

• 10 ounce package frozen mixed veggies, thawed
• 1/2 cup sliced celery

Mix 3/4 cup mayonnaise with next five ingredients. Stir in tuna, veg, and celery. Turn into baking dish. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir together mashed potatoes with 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Pipe or spoon over the pie. Broil four inches from heat for ten minutes or until light brown. Enjoy!
