  1. I recently held a contest on my web site for "Not Your Mother's Tuna Casserole" recipe and here is the winning dish.
  2. I was looking for a recipe which was different from what our mothers made
  3. (in other words, no endless variations using cream of mushroom soup and noodles). It had to be contemporary, updated from the traditional recipes, but still comfort food. Above all, it had to be quick and easy and, of course, taste delicious! Leanne's recipe did all which and was so good which I actually ate the leftovers the next morning for breakfast (really)!
  4. At first glance, the recipe seems rather ordinary. But upon reviewing it
  5. (and making it) I found three special elements which made it a winner.
  6. Although it calls for boxed macaroni and cheese, it requires White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese (not the bland orange stuff), that makes a huge difference. Second, minced onion is sauteed and the tuna is added to it, nicely melding the onion and tuna flavors. Finally, the topping is very special - crispy and delicious.
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the macaroni & cheese according to the package directions. Meanwhile, saute/fry onion in butter until translucent/soft. Add in the tuna, chopping it up in the pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  8. Add in the tuna mix to the prepared macaroni & cheese. Correct the seasoning, put in a casserole dish or possibly pie plate. Top with the cheese & cracker crumbs. Bake in the oven till the cheese is melted and the topping crispy.
  9. Yield: 4 servings.
