Tuna Mac and Cheese




Ok, so I am all about healthy, but I am all about easy as well!



I don't normally have mac and cheese on hand, I used to have it all the time! It was a quick and easy lunch or dinner with a veggie. Then my one punk is allergic to milk, so I stopped getting all cheesy things, including mac and cheese.


I figured out she could have KRAFT mac and cheese and ONLY that brand.... So I would get it every so often. But I don't really like having "kits" on hand, I prefer to make things by scratch.


Please don't read this the wrong way! I am not gonna judge you if you give your kids mac and cheese and hot dogs. There are times I do that for my kids! I TRY to do healthy, but sometimes I need that fast not so healthy meal! ;)


This one is SUPER easy too!



Make the mac and cheese per box directions



add the cream of mushroom soup



add the tuna and the shredded cheese


Pour into a 8x8 dish, cover and bake for 30 minutes



I served this with green beans!





Tuna Mac and Cheese


1 box of mac and cheese (any brand would be fine-also make it the way it calls on the box)

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can tuna, in water, drained (Maryland folk, please don't jump out and strangle me through the computer! If you want to use fresh, go for it!!! ;))

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Make the mac and cheese per box directions. Mix in cream of mushroom soup, drained tuna, cheddar cheese. Mix all together, place in 8x8 baking dish, cover and place in 350d oven for 30 minutes.

*You can use 2 boxes of mac and cheese, and you don't have to double the other ingredients. But if you want too, go for it!
Also, you can use fresh fish, just cook it and then add.
Feel free to add more fish if you prefer or more cheese! I just have to be careful with how much milk product I put in my recipes!
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
