  • This casserole was a favorite of my sons when they were growing up. It is the simplest of casseroles, very few ingredients, yet so delicious. A simple box of mac and cheese as remembered from our childhood with tuna added. Try this for dinner if you want a quick, easy meal to make for your family dinner. Serve with sliced tomatoes, green beans, or just by itself. Directions below.
    Enjoy!

    When we came to America from England, we landed in Indiana! My Grandmother made a tuna dish similar to this. It was delicious!
    She also made tuna Pattie’s with gravy! She was a farm wife and had fourteen children! Food needed to be spread out! Thanks Karen for a beautiful dish,,,,and memory! ♥️♥️

    I like mac and cheese. I like tuna. Never ate tuna casserole because not only do I not eat mushrooms, but I don't eat any canned soup at all. I put the two together! I make tuna casserole with the same cheese sauce I use for mac and cheese. Unbelievably yummy!

    Hi Karen....I am about your age and I have been making this for many years. Just like you, I made this for my children as they were growing up. However, I have never used the box macaroni and cheese. How smart is that?.... I can't believe I have never thought of doing that before. Well, you just taught this old dog a new trick....thank you...by the way, you look lovely in that purple blouse..

    I never was a fan of tuna casserole, but I tried this (using canned salmon, instead of tuna (with bones removed) and it is delicious. I fixed it for lunch today. I also sauteed 1/2 an onion and 1/2 a bell pepper (chopped fine) in a little butter, and added that. It is really good. I used crushed up potato chips for the top.

    Oh thank you so much for this recipe! My mom used to make this every Tuesday night, I know she would use Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, which surprisingly good.
    Unfortunately there for awhile, I couldn’t look at it, since it seemed like we had it all the time!
    Lately I’ve been craving it, and your recipe sounds delicious! Will have to give it a go!

    I love the original tuna noodle casserole. This has got to be super yummy. I’ll fix it on my cheat Sunday.. along with air fryer donuts with maple icing and crumbled up crispy bacon on them.. 😊Yummy. Love you sweetest lady in the world. You just brighten my days. ❤❤❤Try plain potato chips crumbled on top of your casserole once you take it out of the oven.

    I sometimes watch a chef that always uses real butter. Even if he doesn't need it he has a bowl full of emotional support butter nearby. My kind of person.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly.
