This came about because my dad was talking about the food he ate growing up and I thought this sounded...interesting.

It was based on the Foodgasm Recipes (LOCAL) except I doubled it and used four cans of tuna. (Originally just three then I added another can at my Dad's). And I used frozen mixed vegetables instead of just peas.

I made it in the Instant Pot since I was going to prep it and bring it to my Dad's. Through a combination of bad interface and use error, and lack of good heat control, I struggled. I made the roux but when I added the milk, it was not hot enough to really do anything and was just warm. I eventually got it back to boiling but it was still not thick so I added some corn starch to thicken it. I also added some soy sauce (at our house) and tamari (at my Dad's) to give it some more salt and umami.

It was actually pretty decent. Not the most amazing food ever but fun to make and fun to say we ate this! It does make me want to try Tuna Noodle Casserole sometime.
