Home-Style Tuna Casserole image

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.
