Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

Add tuna, celery, and green onions to the noodles. Stir in mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, thyme, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Spoon 1/2 of the noodle mixture into the prepared casserole dish, then layer 1/2 of the zucchini slices over top. Repeat layers once more, then sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over the entire casserole.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped tomato before serving.
