Best Kraft Macaroni Cheese Tuna Casserole Recipes
MACARONI AND TUNA CASSEROLE
I realize there are about a thousand tuna casserole recipes on this site, but here is my version. I know the processed Kraft mac 'n cheese powder isn't the healthiest (chemicals), but it sure is cheap, and I actually like it better in tuna casserole than regular shredded cheese. I toss in a bunch of veggies, so I don't feel as guilty... ;-) The added veggies also help stretch the amount of food. I "eyeball" the amount of veggies, but the amounts listed below should be pretty close to what I use.

EASY MACARONI TUNA CASSEROLE
This dish is super easy. It is also a very hearty delicious bowl of comfort food. The guys in my house loved it. I loved this recipe but I used cream of mushroom soup and added the cheese into the casserole. I also melted butter and added bread crumbs to the top before baking, then sprinkle top lightly with dill seasoning. The resulting casserole was very creamy and flavorful.

HOME-STYLE TUNA CASSEROLE
So I bought some Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese Dinner on sale thinking it would be a comfort food like the regular mac 'n cheese when you don't have time to cook. I conjured up childhood memories of those "special occasions" when Mom let us eat food from a box. When I actually tried it the fake cheese was the most disgusting thing I ever tasted, and I realized your tastebuds grow up too. This recipe does a good job of covering up that boxed food taste, but it's simple enough you don't have to spend all day in the kitchen. I used cream of mushroom soup and doubled the tuna and the vegetable (green beans in place of peas) to get rid of the macaroni and cheese flavor. I did skip the bread crumbs and butter, but I have to say it's pretty impressive for an instant tuna casserole. If you love Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese Dinner, you should try this.

MACARONI TUNA CASSEROLE
This dish is so easy to fix, and the flavor is better than any tuna helper I've ever tried. It was a staple when I was in college since a box of macaroni and cheese and a can of tuna cost so little. -Suzanne Zick, Osceola, Arkansas

POOR MAN'S TUNA CASSEROLE
A friend and I made this up in college -- as we did not have much money, nor a proper kitchen. Over the years, I have tweaked it a bit -- now that I DO have a proper kitchen!
