To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook tuna mac-and-cheese using 11 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Tuna Mac-and-Cheese:
- Take 2 cups whole wheat egg noodles
- Make ready 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- Prepare 1/4 yellow onion, finely diced
- Take 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Prepare 2 tbsp. all purpose flour
- Make ready 3/4 cup unsalted chicken broth
- Take 3/4 cup milk
- Take 1/4 tsp. each salt, pepper
- Take 3/4 cup frozen peas

- Take 1 can (5 oz.) unsalted, solid albacore tuna, drained
Add the soup, tuna, peas, onion and cheese sauce. Tuna mac & cheese takes a trip to the Southwest with spicy tomato and festive blue tortilla chips on top. A southwest inspired version of tuna mac and cheese with taco seasoning, black beans, yellowfin tuna and plenty of cheese. We would take plain old boxed mac and cheese (with the powder cheese, it worked best), prepare it and add a can of cream of mushroom soup, a can of mushrooms, and a can of tuna.
Instructions to make Tuna Mac-and-Cheese:
- Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. Once it's done, drain it and toss it lightly with olive oil to prevent it from sticking. Set it aside. In the same pot, heat the butter over medium heat. Once it's melted, add the onion and cook until it's translucent, just about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant.
- Stir in the flour and cook, stirring fairly constantly for a couple more minutes. Then slowly add in the broth and the milk while stirring to fully incorporate everything smoothly. Increase the heat to med-high. Let it come up to a low boil.
- Once it's bubbling, lower the heat back down and let it simmer until it's thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Then stir in the salt, pepper and peas. Slightly break up the tuna with a fork into large chunks and stir that in as well. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until it's melted in, then serve.
I still make it from time to time if I'm feeling super unhealthy and really want some childhood comfort food. For our recipe, we used the cheap boxed mac and cheese. Feel free to use a different version. But, if the brand you choose has a liquid cheese sauce, then omit the butter and milk. Give tuna mac and cheese casserole deluxe flavor with a crushed cracker-butter topping.
