Notes

Tuna casserole freezes beautifully!  To freeze, let cool completely.  I like to cut into individual portions, then place in a freezer safe container or bag, and freeze for up to three months.
Thaw individual servings in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then reheat in your Air Fryer or oven at 350°F/175⁰C for 15 minutes, or until heated through.
