   Thanks for watching! Love, Mary

2. Someone suggested a cheese grater or a tower grater to cut butter in. Butter has to be well chilled to.

3. I think I will try with Chicken since I'm one of those who do not care for tuna fish. Thank you Mary

4. Hi Mary, to answer your question about why they used cottage cheese, it was to add moisture & tenderness without adding more butter. Besides adding richness & making the biscuits tender, it also adds protein. I learned to make biscuits using cottage cheese from my mother

5. Growing up my mom would make “tuna casserole with cheesy biscuits” and it was delicious but used a lot of processed foods. I still make it but have modified the recipe and make it mostly from scratch (tuna is stilled canned and cheese is commercially made, but I grate it). The recipe is very similar to the recipe you shared today. I may try adding potatoes next time I make it. Thanks for sharing.

6. So yummy looking! I am, for sure , going to make that recipe soon. I will probably use half turkey wheat in the biscuit dough. Thank you so much for sharing this depression relief meal.

7. New to your channel. Very impressed by all your info! I have a lot of catching up to do!!

8. Thanks Mary , I love your channel. This looks amazing

9. I think the cottage cheese is a lesser expensive replacement for ricotta

10. Using cottage cheese might have been both a buttermilk replacement and a fat alternative to save using so much butter, which they might not have had. It also adds moisture.

11. Very good video Mary! I have several very old cookbooks and glad you mentioned amounts and sizes of cans, etc. As most of us older cooks know, over time the sizes of cans have gotten smaller which would affect an older recipe for sure. Thank you for bringing that to my/our attention.

12. You could use the veggie water instead of milk in the topping since we’re adding cottage cheese. Perhaps chill the stock first as cold liquid makes better biscuits/scones. A thrifty cook might have done that to preserve their milk for drinking, custards or cake baking during the depression or WWII.

13. Thank you for the info on the baking soda I had no idea that there was aluminum added…

14. I'm eager to try this, Mary. Thank you so much for finding this eatable treasure.

15. This brings back memories Mary. I remember always having tuna Spam and Vienna sausage in the pantry and oh yes and canned salmon and we would have salmon croquettes. I wish I remembered how my mother made those now

16. I think we will all need recipes that are frugal and tasty. Would appreciate more . thanks so much the casserole looks great.

17. LOVE this idea! Thanks Mary!

18. This looks, and sounds scrumptious, Mary! 💖

19. Great recipe Mary! QUESTION: I don't use/consume milk, is there anything else I can use, like maybe coconut, almond, oat milks? Also, can I swap out canned tuna for canned salmon? Thanks again for the recipe, I'd love to be able to make it next week if I can use an alternative to milk. Love your channel..

20. This sounds and looks delicious

21. I'm going to have to give the biscuits a try! On a side note, I often find the HEB brand products are at least as good if not better than the name brands (probably preaching to the choir here).

22. Hi Ms Mary, I am gluten free and will never know if it is the same or not on this dish but, my question is this. All purpose flour with the addition of baking powder is self rising flour. All I have in the house is self rising gluten free right now. Do you think that will work? Thanks for all you do for all of us.

23. Holy Cow! Let's do it!

24. I’m going to make this, however I’m going to use sourdough for my biscuit. Yes, definitely would love to see more depression era recipes & using lesser cuts of meat
