KRAFT® MAC AND CHEESE TUNA CASSEROLE



Kraft® Mac and Cheese Tuna Casserole image

I call this a classic tuna casserole because it is made with a boxed macaroni and cheese and the basic ingredients we all grew up with. This is comfort food at it's best, my two favorites mixed together. This is so good that I took a picture of it after having it for dinner and decided it should be shared on my favorite recipe site. You will love it too.
