Seafood Casserole

This recipe is adapted from the Tuna and Pasta Bake in The Kitchen Bible. I added imitation crab (yes, I use imitation crab) and homegrown green beans. Instead of whole milk, I used half and half because that's what I had available. It makes 8 servings, or 4 servings in our house. Enjoy!
