What's in the pantry?

So, my hubby and I are dining on a tight budget. I am a little under the weather today, so decided not to go to the grocery store.  Poor decision on my part.  It's almost dinner time and it is very slim pickings in our pantry.  So, we will be having something experimental.  It's made with items that I found on our pantry shelves.

Ingredients: one can white albacore tuna
one can vegetable soup
one cup brown rice
splash of hot sauce
red and black pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350.

I cooked the rice in my Pampered Chef microwave rice cooker.  One cup rice mixes with a dash of salt and two and a half cups of water.  Microwave on high for five minutes.  Stir.  Microwave at half power for ten minutes.  Let the rice sit in the microwave/cooker for ten minutes. Fluff with fork.

While your rice is sitting, mix your can of vegetable soup, hot sauce and pepper with the can of tuna in a separate bowl.

Pour rice into an oven safe casserole or baking dish.  Add soup and tuna mixture.  Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Casserole is baking now.  I will let you know tomorrow how well it is received by the hubby.  This recipe should yield around 4 servings.
