This sounds really good, the only thing is I don’t like hot tuna. I could always wait for the shells to cool and do it cold with a few minor adjustments. I think I’ll try this, thank you.
I have never made stuffed shells before. This sounds interesting. I am allergic to tune so I will try this with chicken.
Jordasche Bledsoe,
That’s a great idea. Let me know how it goes.

Stacie,
Good idea, just ground chicken in food processor or buy ground chicken. Ground turkey would work too. The skies the limit.

I always go with Bumble Bee Tuna as they do not catch tuna in nets, but use fishing poles so Dolphins are not netted and die.
Doug,
Interesting information, never know what you’ll learn on bloggersphere.
Thanks for sharing
