Tuna Chip Casserole

Today I'm sharing a casserole that my mother use to make me as a child. when my children where growing up I would make this for them.They really loved this dish. We very seldom had left overs. If we had left overs, they didn't last for very long. The only Thing bad about left over "Tuna Chip Casserole" is the chips don't stay crunchy. The taste is still great.

I have tried it with Thyme but it tastes so much better with the poultry seasoning.You can also use more or less water, depending on how thick you like your gravy.I like mine a medium thickness, so I use the whole can of water.
