Tuna Casserole



This is an old standby from my childhood that my mom would make. I loved it as a child, but sadly, my girls don't enjoy it as much because in their minds, it's "seafood". Oh please.
It's so easy and cheap and a great meal for those nights where you're running and don't have time to plan for anything elaborate.

Tuna Casserole

Elbow macaroni (I use mine from food storage)
Several cans of tuna - drained
Several cans of Cream of Mushroom soup
Dried onion (again, from food storage)
Frozen peas
Milk
Cheddar cheese

Boil pasta.
Mix together tuna, soup, onion and peas. Add milk to your desired consistency. Add to pasta in a baking dish... top with grated cheese. This last time I had a bag of ranch flavored potato chips in the pantry that I crumbled on the top as well. It gave the dish a yummy crunch.

Bake until heated... 350° or so.

Sorry I don't have exact measurements. This is one of those dishes that could probably grow and grow as you add the ingredients.
