Terrific and Easy Tuna Casserole
(My own creation...of sorts...I cannibalized 3 different recipes, put them together & this is the result - it's wonderful!)
1 1/2 c. dry macaroni
1 can tuna
1 can (10 oz.) cream of mushroom soup
1 can mushrooms (optional)
1/2 med. onion, minced
1/3 cup of milk
grated parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon bits or whatever
Cook and drain macaroni. Heat soup with milk, onion & a dash of salt & pepper. Mix macaroni with soup mixture. Add mushrooms. Drain & break up tuna & mix together. Pour into a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle generously with grated parmesan, bacon bits, parsley flakes, cracker or bread crumbs, whatever. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25-30 minutes uncovered. With lots of stuff added (can of mushrooms, some veggies, etc), it will serves 2 adults who love it and 2 children who aren't fond of tuna. Or one hungry teenager.
Note: You can also add frozen vegetables (peas are great) or chopped green pepper for some colour.
Hint: I cook macaroni in the microwave, it's a lot faster and less messy. Just put it in a glass bowl with about 1 3/4 cups of water and cook on high for, oh, about 9 or 10 minutes. Stir every 3 minutes or so.
Anecdote: I once cooked this and forgot to put in the tuna. We didn't notice until clearing the table and I saw the can still sitting there on the counter. Tuna casserole please - hold the tuna!
