A SAVORY TUNA RICE CASSEROLE… JUST ADD BACON

We have a deep love in our hearts for mom’s tuna casserole!

Tuna and rice are an iconic and comforting combination of ingredients.

Well, it’s not too much of a stretch then to add a bit of bacon to the mix for a savory and hearty pop of flavor and texture.

Cover it all with melted cheese – and we’d say you have a winner on your hands!

HOW TO MAKE TUNA CASSEROLE IN A RICE COOKER

This is where you get to see just how easy it is to make this delicious tuna rice casserole.

And – hey… we get to show off a little too, ha!

You see, your Tiger rice cooker is definitely up to the task of cooking perfect rice AND the other elements of this easy tuna casserole at the same time.

To make this simple comfort food classic, simply place your rinsed rice and water in the inner pot of your multi-cooker. Then load the savory ingredients into the Tacook cooking plate.

When you select the Synchro-Cooking function, the steam generated from the cooking rice cooks everything else at the same time.

The result is an ooey gooey classic tuna, cheese and rice casserole – all made better with bacon!

You know there’s nothing wrong with comfort food that’s ready in a flash. And you’ll love the minimal kitchen cleanup.

But, best of all… dinner will be absolutely delicious!
