  1. I have a question about how to reheat. I am planning on making this is a glass 8×8 baking pan. In order to reheat it says to put it on stove and heat through? Are you thinking that we should defrost it first? I’ve never placed a glass baking pan directly on the stove and I feel like going from frozen to heated in glass will make the pan crack….

    1. Going from frozen to stop top directly would 100% make the glass crack. So yes, you would need to defrost first for sure 🙂

    2. I don’t think she meant put the oven pan on the stove. I wouldn’t put a glass oven pan on a stovetop ever. I’d thaw the casserole then reheat in glass in oven OR I’d thaw the casserole and scoop out into a stovetop pot or pan and reheat in that.

  2. Curious how long do you cook after adding the potatoes and mushrooms? Are they fully cooked/soft before the casserole goes into the oven?

    Don’t have tuna at home but have extra cans of salmon so trying with that today 🙂

    1. They don’t need to be fully cooked/soft as long as they are diced small enough they will cook in the oven. 3-5 minutes should be sufficient.
