Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces elbow macaroni (can also use 1/2 a package of spaghetti noodles broken into thirds)
1/2 cup chopped celery (optional but nice)
1 (10 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup shredded cheese (plus a handful more to sprinkle on top if you want)
10 ounces tuna, well drained and squeezed dry (two five ounce cans of tuna)
4 tablespoons of minced jarred roasted red peppers or 4 tablespoons of jarred pimientos
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or 1 cup of panko crumbs are REALLY nice if you have them on hand)
4 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Cook and drain macaroni. If using the optional chopped celery, boil it with the pasta.
  • In a bowl blend together the soup, milk, mayo, and dry mustard.
  • Stir in cheese, tuna, and pimiento.
  • Gently fold in macaroni/spaghetti and transfer into a 2 quart 8X8 inch casserole dish.
  • Combine crumbs, butter, and paprika and sprinkle evenly on top.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 for 30-35 minutes or so. When the crumbs are a pretty color and the juices are bubbling around the edges your casserole is done.

WACKY MAC TUNA CASSEROLE



Wacky Mac Tuna Casserole image

In all my years, I have never had tuna noodle casserole and truth be known, never had a big desire to even try it. I've been studying tuna noodle casseroles for a couple of weeks now. I changed (slighty) a recipe I found on "Desserts for Two" blog, and combined ingredients that I like to come up with this recipe. Well I've definitely changed my mind about tuna noodle casserole. Adapted from "Desserts for Two" blog http://www.dessertfortwo.com/2012/10/dinner-for-two-tuna-noodle-casserole/

KRAFT® MAC AND CHEESE TUNA CASSEROLE



Kraft® Mac and Cheese Tuna Casserole image

I call this a classic tuna casserole because it is made with a boxed macaroni and cheese and the basic ingredients we all grew up with. This is comfort food at it's best, my two favorites mixed together. This is so good that I took a picture of it after having it for dinner and decided it should be shared on my favorite recipe site. You will love it too.

MACARONI AND TUNA CASSEROLE



Macaroni and Tuna Casserole image

I realize there are about a thousand tuna casserole recipes on this site, but here is my version. I know the processed Kraft mac 'n cheese powder isn't the healthiest (chemicals), but it sure is cheap, and I actually like it better in tuna casserole than regular shredded cheese. I toss in a bunch of veggies, so I don't feel as guilty... ;-) The added veggies also help stretch the amount of food. I "eyeball" the amount of veggies, but the amounts listed below should be pretty close to what I use.
