This recipe was handed to my mother by her mother, from about a hundred years ago. I have over the years adapted it to my own tastes, and I personally believe that the cheese is the key. This is great favorite for when you are not well, and need something simple and light.

Categories     Tuna

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup water or 3/4 cup milk, your choice
8 ounces elbow macaroni or 8 ounces shell macaroni
1 medium onion, chopped small pcs
1 stalk celery, chopped (optional)
6 slices American cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese (your favorite) or 1 cup swiss cheese (your favorite)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook macaroni according to package instructions.
  • Then separately, simmer onion and celery together (I have quit using the celery altogether, myself).
  • When onion is tender, add mushroom soup, with either half a can of water or milk (I use water).
  • I have begun adding the drained tuna into this mixture at this point.
  • When macaroni is ready, (approx 8- 10 minutes).
  • Combine in casserole dish, with the soup mixture, and tuna if not already in soup mixture.
  • Then stir in the shredded cheese.
  • Layer on the top, the slices of American cheese, so that the entire top is covered.
  • Bake in oven for about 10 minutes or until cheese is nicely melted over the top.
  • Serve and enjoy.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a success. It's a great way to use up leftover tuna fish, and it's also a very affordable meal. I usually serve it with a side of rice or pasta.

This is one of my favorite comfort food recipes. It's so easy to make and always hits the spot. I usually add a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, and I also like to serve it with a side of crusty bread.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! The only thing I changed was that I used fresh dill instead of dried. It gave the dish a really nice flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
