As a teenager, I used to eat Kraft mac & cheese with a can of tuna mixed in, so I knew I would really like this recipe. I made this for myself and hubby's lunch today. It was a huge hit! The only change I made was to use a can of diced tomatoes and green chilis instead of just diced tomatoes. Wow, what flavor! This was so easy to make, the taste was great and it was nice and creamy too. Thanks for posting.

Nice,quick recipe.I used a box of Annie's organic parmesean and cheese mac and didn't add tomatoes until the end b/c DS doesn't care for them...so I added fresh chopped cherry tomatoes to my portion (also a sprinkle of cajun/creole seasoning for my personal taste). Nice lunch! Thanks. Went to Market tag 2007

Woo-hoo! A one-dish meal in less than 20 minutes! This is good for an inexpensive, pantry quickie meal. I added a handful of shredded cheddar to make it a bit cheesier and also a shake of garlic powder. Thanx for posting this one! I'll use this again on hurried, hectic days.

Thankyou, thankyou. I made this for my 21mth old DD for lunch, she will not normally eat tuna or tomato but she couldn't shovel this one in fast enough. I also added a little corn to the mix. I enjoyed this one too. A Nice & simple but tasty meal. May even try & sneak some finely grated carrot in next time. Made for ZWT III.
