Ingredients:
- 4 cups cooked pasta
- 2 cans tuna OR flaked chicken, drained
- 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom OR cream of chicken soup
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional, but yummy!)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ***(optional, but preferred! Or use 2 boxes mac and cheese, prepared, in place of pasta – its cheesiness is a great substitute if shredded cheddar isn’t available! If you’re going this route, mix the 2 boxes prepared mac and cheese with the soup, tuna and garlic powder, but omit the extra milk listed in the recipe)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
- 3 tsp melted butter or margarine/oil
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Grease medium casserole dish with 1 tsp of butter/oil or line bottom with parchment (NOT waxed) paper
- Whisk soup, milk and garlic powder together in large bowl. Once smooth, stir in cooked and drained pasta, drained tuna/chicken and shredded cheese. Combine but do not over mix
- Spoon into prepared casserole dish, cover with foil (avoid letting foil touch top of casserole) and bake in preheated oven for about 30 mins/until centre is hot. Remove from oven and take off foil
- Combine breadcrumbs/cracker crumbs and melted butter and sprinkle over top of casserole. Bake 5 mins more
- ***Note*** 1/2 can of drained peas sprinkled in will boost protein and nutrition, but you may leave them out
