Tuna Stuff

"When I first saw this I thought it sounded so gross, but my daughter loved it so I tried some. I really like it, and I still make it for the kids. I think my family has a problem naming receipts, because so many are called "stuff" lol. Add another can of tuna if you like."

  1. Sounds like something I'd make and my husband would be repulsed by....I love it.
     
  2. Fantastic! this was just the innovation I needed for my cupboard stocked with stuff i never wanted to eat. i've actually made several variations on the recipe. Sometimes i simply add a little tomato soup and it sweetens it with a little zing.<br/><br/>Another version i really enjoyed was replacing cream of mushroon with cream of chicken. Another discovery is adding hormel canned chili to just the boxed mac and cheese with the corn still involved(minus cream of mushroom and tuna made another wonderful creation I dubbed "Chili cheeze stuff" in honor of my inspiration.<br/><br/>Thanks so much!
     
  3. It's pretty good. My 6 year old and her best friend loved it and scarfed down 3 plates full. My 2 year old refused to even try it. I subtracted a star for appearance because of that. I would substitute peas for the corn if making it just for me. Using cream of mushroom soup in this recipe was a stroke of genius, I would have never considered that.
     
  4. It's not as cheesy as I like, but I loved it.It was delicious and very filling, and it wasn't difficult at all to cook- and if I can make it, anyone can!
     
  5. Cheap, fast and economical. Heavenly words to a single mom's ears! I think the 1 cup of milk was too much. It drowned out the cheesiness...Other than that..Very easy! Thanks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in the northeastern US I am a stay at home mom. My kids are 11, 9, 3.5, and 1.5 My hubby is back from his 3 month internship in MA. We all went to see Boston, for some reason the people of MA don't feel the need to post rout markers on their highways. I am accustomed to knowing every 10th of a mile what highway I am on and where on it I am. Thank goodness for audio books, but if I ever have to listen to Charlie and the Chocolate factory again I may do Eric Idle some form of spam induced harm. (Just kidding don't turn me in to the men in white coats yet.) I used to say that I have too many favorite cook books to list, but now I will have to say that Recipezaar is my favorite cookbook. We have implemented a rule at the book store, we cannot buy another cook book until we make at least one thing from the last one we bought. I would love to move somewhere truly interesting, or at least to travel. Don't get me started on my pet peeves. I have removed them because they were too grouchy, I really am a happy person so lets just say I think people need to think more, have more self respect, more respect and responsibility to others and to dress and behave like civilized people should. Also if you live in a big city, please let people merge on the highway.
