For the Tuna Casserole:
-
Preheat oven to 350° F. -
Spray a medium oven-safe pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery and cook until vegetables are soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. -
Turn off heat. Into the pan, add tuna, mayo, yogurt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Stir. Spread cereal on top of casserole and serve with green beans. Cook in oven until warm, about 20 minutes. -

Keep it Healthy: Salmon is just as healthy as tuna, plus sometimes on sale and cheaper. Substitute 1 (15 oz.) can of low sodium salmon for the tuna.
Tip: Kids can help crush the cereal. Just put in a sealed plastic bag and let them gently smash with a rolling pin or the back of a small pan. They can also sprinkle the cereal on top of the casserole.
Tip: Pre-chopped mixes of bell pepper, celery, and onion are sometimes available in the produce section. While a little more expensive, it can be a time-saver. Also, 1 bag of frozen peppers stir-fry mix and onions can be used instead of fresh bell peppers and onion.
