EASY SLOW COOKER TUNA CASSEROLE
I couldn't find many slow cooker pasta recipes here that would cook the pasta along with everything else in the cooker. So this is a basic recipe that I made up, along the lines of my mama's stovetop tuna casserole, that can be tweaked by using different type of soup, vegetables, and pasta types as well as adding more or different cheeses, herbs, or spices. Super easy and even my 2-year-old ate it! It makes a very soft pasta, not al dente.

CHEESY TUNA MORNAY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour until smooth. Gradually mix in milk so that no lumps form. Stir constantly until the mixture boils, then mix in half of the cheese. Add the peas, corn and macaroni. Drain the tuna, leaving a small amount of liquid to keep it moist. Flake with a fork and stir into the cheese mixture. Transfer to a casserole dish and top with the remaining cheese. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until sauce is bubbly and cheese is browned.

SLOW COOKER TUNA MORNAY
Steps:
- Open each can of tuna and dump brine and all into the slow cooker pot. Break up the tuna with a fork.
- Add all the ingredients except the cheese, to your slow cooker, season with a pinch of black pepper as desired. I used frozen mixed veggies in place of the corn and peas.
- Give everything a good stir. Cover and cook on Low setting for 4 to 5 hours. Stir the pot (literally, not figuratively) once an hour. Check if the pasta is tender at the 4 hour mark, if tender, stir in the cheese. If not tender, check again at 4 1/2 hours or the 5 hour mark.
- Cook for another 15-30 minutes on Low setting, stir again, taste, season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Spoon into bowls, serve.
