Tuna on the Bayou

I took a big risk & tried this out while we had company over for dinner. It was a huge hit!! This meal is very affordable with the tuna as the main meat.

1/3 C chopped celery
1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 14.5 oz can tomatoes, pureed
2 6 oz cans of tuna, drained (could also be good with canned chicken)
8 oz cheese sauce (I used the one that comes in the large can for nachos, etc. Velveeta or other sauce would probably work as well.)
1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
Cajun seasoning (to taste--a must!!)
Rice

In large sauce pan, cook celery & onion in olive oil until tender.
Stir in tomatoes, tuna, cheese sauce, & Italian seasoning.
Mix well & heat through, stirring occasionally.
Add your favorite Cajun seasoning to taste.
Serve over rice.
