My Own Tuna Noodle Casserole N Cheese

My Own Tuna Noodle Casserole N Cheese



You'll go in for seconds and thirds on this very simple, very affordable weekend or weeknight meal. Touch of comfort with lots of melted cheese!


Ingredients:

2 Cans of chunk light tuna in water
1/2 Block of Velveeta (feel free to add more!)
1 Can of cream of celery
1/2 Box of noodles (I used shells because I love they way the shells can trap in extra cheese)
1 TBSP Butter
1/2 onion
1/2 cup of milk
1 or 2 garlic cloves
1/8 Cup of parmesean
Salt (optional)
Sprig of chives (optional)

Instructions: 

Boil water, prepare pasta according to box. Set aside when done.

Preheat oven to 350.

Dice onion, smash garlic, cook in pan with butter for about 5 minutes. Stop when garlic browns.

Reduce heat in pan.

Add can of cream of celery.

Add milk. Stir.

Chop up and add Velveeta.

Add the cans of tuna, water drained.

Sprinkle parmesean, mix well.

Consistency should be a little thick. If its too thick, add more milk. Too thin, add more Velveeta. You should not consider adding flour at this point.

Take a casserole dish and spray with cooking oil.

Add noodles. Pour mixture over noodles and mix a bit.

Cook in oven at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. Serve with a pinch of salt and a sprig of chives if you want to add a little color. Ready to eat!


So simple, easy, comforting - winner!
