Mac & cheese, tuna, and peas! It's quick, easy, comforting, and I never get tired of it.
Made like a casserole? Sounds awesome!
Yeah, kinda! Like a stove top casserole, almost. I usually make the boxed mac & cheese according to the box's instructions, then when that's done, I mix in a drained can of peas and a drained can of tuna and make sure it's mixed well and is warm all the way through. Then I add salt and pepper to taste. I've also done it in a microwave safe casserole dish in the microwave when I don't feel up to babysitting something on the stove.
I bet it would be great as a more traditional casserole in a casserole dish in the oven, maybe with some potato chips crushed on top & baked until they get nice and crispy. Ooh, or maybe some tater tots? You've got me thinking!! :)
If it sounds good, you should definitely try it! & let me know how you like it, if ya want! :) It's easy peasy, hard to mess up, plenty of protein and pretty well balanced compared to a lot of quick, cheap, & easy meals and comfort foods, and it's pretty inexpensive. I'm very enthusiastic about it, lol! 😄
