SUSAN'S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart casserole dish. In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt the butter, stir in the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, for 60 seconds. Whisk the milk and cook, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until smooth and thick. Add the cheese and stir until just melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, combine tuna, noodles, olives and cheese sauce. With two forks, toss together. Spoon lightly into the casserole dish. Top with buttered bread crumbs. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve very hot. Variation: Use a slightly larger casserole dish and add as much as 1 cup chopped cooked ham instead of tuna and/or 1/2 cup to 1 cup cooked
peas.

Note: Susan loved tuna casserole.

You may not think the world needed you, but it did. For you were unique, like no one that has ever been before or will come after. No one can speak with your voice, say your piece, smile your smile or shine your light.
