Tuna Potato Casserole

INGREDIENTS
3    cups peeled, grated potato
2    tablespoons butter
1    cup finely chopped onion
1    red bell pepper, seeded, cut to small dice
2    cans (5 ounce) tuna, drained
½   cup grated Parmesan cheese
1    tablespoon dried sage
¼   cup cream cheese, sour cream or yogurt
2    eggs
2    tablespoons lemon juice

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 325 F. Grease the sides and bottom of an 8 inch baking dish. Place the potatoes into a large bowl. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the onions and red bell pepper. Cook the veggies for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Place into the bowl with the potatoes. Add and mix in the cheese and sage.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream cheese. Add and whisk in the lemon juice. Pour this mixture into the large bowl and mix it well. Place the casserole into the prepared baking dish and press it down into the corners and smooth the top.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden. Remove and allow it to cool before cutting into squares and serving. Add a little Dijon mustard for extra impact. This recipe will serve 4 to 6 people as a main dish.
