MACARONI AND TUNA CASSEROLE
I realize there are about a thousand tuna casserole recipes on this site, but here is my version. I know the processed Kraft mac 'n cheese powder isn't the healthiest (chemicals), but it sure is cheap, and I actually like it better in tuna casserole than regular shredded cheese. I toss in a bunch of veggies, so I don't feel as guilty... ;-) The added veggies also help stretch the amount of food. I "eyeball" the amount of veggies, but the amounts listed below should be pretty close to what I use.
