I call this a classic tuna casserole because it is made with boxed macaroni and cheese and the basic ingredients we all grew up with. This is comfort food at its best, my two favorites mixed together. This is so good that I took a picture of it after having it for dinner and decided it should be shared on my favorite recipe site. You will love it too.
