- While everything is cooking, whisk the broth, milk and flour together in a bowl, then pour that mixture into the skillet. Bring it to a boil and boil for 1 minute, then reduce heat to medium-low and add in the cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted.
- Last, stir in the tuna and cooked pasta. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the whole casserole with breadcrumbs. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
