Our apologies - we have changed the recipe to 1/4 tsp. of thyme.

Why would you not take out the thyme from the recipe ingredient list OR at least change the amount? I didn't have time to read the reviews before I made this, and the thyme made it so disgusting that my husband and I had to throw the whole thing away! What a waste of food and a huge disappointment! It left me scrambling for something else to make to put on the dinner table.

I really like tuna casserole. I added mushrooms and sour cream and minced onions. Yummy.

Thanks dobermom! We took a look at it and agree - 1 tsp is WAY too much thyme. We've adjusted it to 1/4 tsp and are keeping it as an optional ingredient.

Thanks from StarKist!

We tried this recipe last night the canned tuna. It lists using 1 teaspoon thyme as optional. I used only a sprinkle of thyme (less than 1/4 teaspoon) and it over-powered the recipe. I'm sure it would have been good without thyme!
