How to Make Tuna And Tomato Quickie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare one box (7-8 oz) of macaroni and cheese dinner mix according to package directions. Set aside.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Drain one (5 ounce) can of tuna. Add the tuna, sautéed onions, 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the cooked macaroni and cheese. Stir well to combine.
  5. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish. Pour the macaroni and tuna mixture into the prepared dish.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the top.
  7. Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
