Tuna Macaroni Casserole image

This is another one of those "in every kitchen cabinet" type of recipes that I have been cooking for years. It originated because I basically didn't know how to cook (still not sure that has changed much). Now-a-days we use the recipe in those not much time to prepare situations and still enjoy remembering, as well as laughing about, how it was when my husband and I started our journey through life together.
