Cooking Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
-
Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the macaroni from the box and cook for 7 minutes. Drain the macaroni, rinse with cold water, then drain again. Set the cheese sauce packet aside.
-
In the same saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the milk and the cheese sauce packet, stirring to combine. Add the condensed soup and heat the mixture for about 3 minutes until well blended.
-
In a large bowl, mix the drained macaroni, peas, and tuna. Stir in the creamy soup mixture. Pour everything into the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top, followed by a layer of French-fried onions. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the onions are golden and the cheese has melted.
