I make a similar casserole when I have a lot of leftover chicken using that instead of the tuna. I have also made it with cooked shrimp and I use Penzey's spices often and I think it is wonderful but have not used the Northwoods Fire yet so cannot comment on the heat of it.

NF also features ground chipotle pepper, which lends a more mellow smoky heat, and that blends nicely with the herbs and the granulated garlic. We haven't tried the Black & Red so I can’t tell you whether NF is spicier or not.
