For years I have been searching for a Tuna Rice cassrole I made as a child in the 1950's when Minute rice was first popular..It called for canned green peas,I think cream of mushroom soup,potato chips,rice & Tuna..The key was the way it was layered and baked..Please help if you can..I can't believe no one else remembers this recipe!!! Thanks..Thelma
