- Heat butter in a large frying pan until hot. Saute onion and green pepper until the onion becomes translucent.
- Turn the heat to medium and add the plain flour. Stir continuously until it thickens, 20-30 seconds. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until there are no lumps left. NOTE: The sauce will look very thin at this stage.
- Add sweetcorn including the juice, tuna, grated cheese, salt and pepper. Stir. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Serve with rice or pasta.

The taste of this dish is fantastic. Just a note: make sure you use the cheese that the recipe calls for, as i used low fat cheddar and it did not thicken so well and stuck to the tuna making it a bit chewy. (Not the recipes fault) Very yummy - 18 Feb 2012 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
it's really good, you can add cayenne pepper to give it a bit of kick that's what I do anyway. - 11 May 2013 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
