Method

Add 2tbsp of plain flour and cook on a low heat for about 2 mins to make a roux. Remove from heat and gradually stir in 1/2 pint milk. Return to heat and bring to boil, stiring all the time. Simmer for about 2 mins and stir in the cheese.

• step 3

  Prepare the rice. (Boil in the bag rice is easiest!)

• step 4

  Pour 1/3 of cheese sauce over the tuna flakes. Then layer rice and remaining cheese sauce over the tuna. Grated cheese can also be added to the top of the dish.

• step 5

  Cook in the oven at 180 for about 20 mins and then serve.
