Does someone have this cook book?

It's Better Homes & Gardens' 9 X 13 The Pan That Can http://www.amazon.com/13-Better-Hom...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329615282&sr=1-1 If you have it, could you please post its recipe for Tuna Noodle Casserole? I had copied it from this book, but have lost it. I liked it because you made your own white sauce instead of using canned cream of something soup.
Thank you!

White sauce is very easy to make, if thats what you need?

1. In a small, heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
2. Blend 2 tablespoons of flour into the melted butter.
3. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
4. Cook over low heat, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes. Cooking for this length of time will minimize 'flour' taste.
5. Slowly add 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly.
6. Continue cooking slowly until smooth and thickened.
7. For thin white sauce, follow the instructions above, but use 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of flour. Thin white sauce is used in cream soups.
8. For thick white sauce, follow the instructions above, but use 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of flour. Thick white sauce is used in soufflés.
9. For heavy white sauce, follow the instructions above, but use 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of flour. Heavy white sauce is used as a binder for croquettes.

Tips:

1. To make the standard Béchamel, after adding the milk to the medium white sauce recipe add 1 small onion studded with 3 cloves, a bay leaf, and a grating of nutmeg.
2. Light stock, cream, or a combination may be used in place of the milk.
3. Add more flavor by seasoning with celery salt, nutmeg, a teaspoon of lemon juice, onion juice, or sherry, or a few tablespoons of chopped chives or parsley .
4. I like adding minced garlic to mine for shrimp or chicken alfredo.

• Heavy saucepan
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk

Thank you, that is helpful information. But I'd still like that particular recipe from that particular cookbook, if someone here has it and will share. I saw that cookbook at a school book fair, cannot find it at the local book stores nor at my library.

I was in the same situation the other day. I looked for a long time and could not find the book I had seen. In my experince though it will be online somewhere. It may not be exactly the same but it will be around. The one I found was on http://www.mydish.co.uk/chicken-recipes. Hit up the major food websites and I'm sure you'll get lucky
