Macaroni Tuna Casserole [Post #1]

Ingredients:
1 package (7 1/4 ounces) macaroni and cheese
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1 can (6 ounces) tuna, drained and flaked
1/2 cup milk
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Prepare macaroni and cheese according to package directions. Stir in soup, tuna and milk. Pour into a greased 2- quart baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Yield: 4 servings



I double this recipe because I have to feed a family of five. When I double the recipe I use a family size box of macaroni and cheese, one can of cream of mushroom soup, one can of cream of celery soup and a 7.06 ounce envelope of tuna. I double all the other ingredients. My picky kids don't even realize there is tuna in it.

Shepherds Pie is good.

It is just cooked chopped meat on the bottom layer then a can(drained) of corn on top of that. The top layer is mashed potatoes..you can make flavored instant...about 2 bags..then cover with cheedar cheese. Bake it and freeze. When it is frozen you can cut it up into portions. Every thing is cooked before it is put into the oven at 350 until the cheese is melted.

I need...
























a million dollars!

I was going to say Shepards Pie also. It freezes well and is yummy. I add a layer of cheese between the corn and potatoes.

Lazy Man's Cabbage Rolls

(I don't measure any of these at all, so it all depends on what you like)

Just Shred some cabbage and boil to soften
Brown your hamburger, add onion and garlic and bacon and whatever seasonings you would like to use

In a big pot or bowl mix together the above along with minute rice, and then add either tomatoe Soup or tomatoe sauce (I prefer tomatoe sauce). Mix all ingredients well together.

Place into cassarole dish. Top with some more tomatoe sauce and strips of bacon and bake in oven at 375 for about an hour or so (until you think it may be done...i have had this vary in different ovens depending on how much you have made). Basically all you need to do is cook the rice......to save time you can always pre-cook your rice and mix it all together, adn then you just have to cook it to blend flavours and heat it all up.

Enjoy
