Mac'n Cheese'n Tuna, Too
  • 1 6-ounce can of tuna in water
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 7.25-ounce carton macaroni and cheese mix
  • 1/4 cup margarine, cut into pieces
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • Open can, discard lid. Hold a small wire mesh strainer or colander over an empty sink; dump can of tuna into strainer, hold over sink until all of the liquid has drained. (To be sure all of the liquid has drained, gently press on tuna in strainer with the back of a spoon.) Place tuna in a bowl; separate into bite-size pieces with a fork. Toss with green onions, if using; set aside. Bring water to boil in a large saucepan; stir in macaroni noodles, boil 7 to 9 minutes. Drain noodles thoroughly, but do not rinse. Return to saucepan, stir in margarine until barely melted. Sprinkle with cheese sauce packet, stir in milk until sauce is creamy. Gently stir in tuna mixture until evenly coated.
