Salmon Mac and Cheese image

This is a salmon version of a tuna casserole. You can use tuna in this as well. I made this up in college when I needed to make something that would use up stuff I had in the kitchen.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
¼ cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, minced
1 (6 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
½ cup vegetable stock
1 (14.5 ounce) can peas and carrots, drained
1 (8 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
salt and pepper to taste
3 slices day-old bread
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir the softened butter into the macaroni.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the onion in the oil until brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the salmon and seafood seasoning and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and pour the red wine vinegar into the skillet and set aside to cool.
  • Mix together the Cheddar cheese, eggs, milk, and vegetable stock in a large mixing bowl. Add the salmon mixture, peas and carrots, and corn; mix. Stir in the macaroni. Season with salt and pepper. Spread into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Toast the bread and break into small pieces. Combine the toasted bread and Parmesan cheese in a food processor; blend until chopped into crumbs. Sprinkle over top of the dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
