Tuna-Macaroni Casserole
"I found this in a casserole cookbook circa 1964. I "tweaked" it some. My kids loved it. My daughter makes it for her family too. Serve with lightly sauteed veggies and coleslaw"

In addition to cream of mushroom, I sub chopping an onion and use Lipton beefy onion dry soup mix. -
This recipe is so yummy. I added all the cheese in the macaroni because my son doesn't like when it's on top. That way he liked it a lot. Thanks pigtailone :) Made for Name that ingredient tag game -
I agree about this being comfort food - it beats out Tuna Helper and was just as easy to make. I added a bunch of broccoli, used cream of celery soup and some extra celery. I reduced the cheese and added some bread crumbs and cooked for another 5 min. My DD who is 3 claimed this scrumptious! -
Good comfort food casserole and I liked the addition of onion. Since you gave a choice, I opted for the cream of celery soup. I did feel that it could use more cheese, but keep in mind that I love lots of cheese. I would also add a small can of drained peas next time, only because we love peas in our tuna casseroles. Made for Spring 2009 Pick A Chef.
