Easy Macaroni Tuna Casserole

(Recipe by Lorene Rohrbaugh)

This tuna and macaroni casserole is super easy to make, very creamy, and flavorful. It makes for a hearty and delicious bowl of comfort food. 


Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 35 mins
Total Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

    1 (7.25 ounce) package macaroni and cheese
    ¼ cup butter   
    ¼ cup milk
    1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
    1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
    ½ cup milk
    1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
    1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, or to taste (Optional)
    ¼ cup bread crumbs
    ¼ cup butter, melted
    ½ teaspoon dried dill weed, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and return macaroni to the pot.

Stir in 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, and the envelope of powdered cheese from the package. Add mushroom soup, tuna, and 1/2 cup milk; stir to combine. Pour macaroni mixture into the prepared baking dish; top with Cheddar cheese and parsley.

Mix bread crumbs, 1/4 cup melted butter, and dill in a small bowl; sprinkle over Cheddar cheese layer.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and the top is golden brown, about 20 minutes. 

Gail's Notes: I'm looking forward to making this soon!

Add sugar to dissolve.

It is based on a recipe found here .  Note that I cut the ingredients in half (from the original recipe) because I wanted to make sure it tastes as good as it looks and man, it really does taste like Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing!  I will definitely keep this recipe handy (as I use Zia's dressing f
