by Valorie Delp

03 May 2008 12:57 PM

When I was kid one of my favorite dishes was my mom's tuna casserole topped with crushed potato chips. Obviously, the thrill of getting to devour potato chips for dinner was what made the dish so memorable. The crunchy, salty topping also provided incentive to eat the mush that sat under it.
