Steps:

  • Cook and drain macaroni. If using the optional chopped celery, boil it with the pasta.
  • In a bowl blend together the soup, milk, mayo, and dry mustard.
  • Stir in cheese, tuna, and pimiento.
  • Gently fold in macaroni/spaghetti and transfer into a 2 quart 8X8 inch casserole dish.
  • Combine crumbs, butter, and paprika and sprinkle evenly on top.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 for 30-35 minutes or so. When the crumbs are a pretty color and the juices are bubbling around the edges your casserole is done.

8 ounces elbow macaroni (can also use 1/2 a package of spaghetti noodles broken into thirds)
1/2 cup chopped celery (optional but nice)
1 (10 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup shredded cheese (plus a handful more to sprinkle on top if you want)
10 ounces tuna, well drained and squeezed dry (two five ounce cans of tuna)
4 tablespoons of minced jarred roasted red peppers or 4 tablespoons of jarred pimientos
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or 1 cup of panko crumbs are REALLY nice if you have them on hand)
4 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Begin by boiling water for mac and cheese.
  • While that boils, sauté onions in butter.
  • Once onions are cooked to medium/well, add can of tuna (which has been drained).
  • Cook for a minute or two, stirring.
  • Add canned chopped tomatoes, stir and let simmer on a very low setting for about 5 minutes while you finish mac and cheese. Do not overcook as you'll lose the moisture and you don't want that to happen. Cover pan if you like.
  • Prepare mac and cheese according to box directions.
  • Place completed macaroni & cheese along with tuna mixture into a bowl, add salt and pepper (if desired) and combine.
  • Serve with veggies and sliced bread and butter.
  • YUM! Makes a great lunch.
